AREZZO ....non solo Piazza Grande * toscana italy *
SI....non solo il passeggio in Piazza Grande ricordando le corse in bicicletta di Benigni nel film la vita è bella .....Arezzo è tanto altro, da Piero della Francesca al Petrarca e al Vasari, dalla chiesa di San Francesco a Santa Maria della Pieve e a San Domenico, dal Duomo al Palazzo Comunale, una città medievale tutta da scoprire e in crescita nei flussi turistici. Un weekend con tempo atmosferico davvero mutevole nella bella città toscana, e le immagini del video così diverse per lo stesso soggetto mostrano bene gli effetti della luce soprattutto nella percezione dei colori.

AREZZO ( Toscana - Italy) - PIAZZA GRANDE con il MERCATINO DELL'ANTIQUARIATO - video live -
Lucca - Pisa - Carnevale di Viareggio - Arezzo - Orvieto - *** Periodo 2/4 Marzo 2012 *** CIRCOLO DEL VIAGGIATORE - Lioni ( AV ) -.
Arezzo,domenica 4 Marzo 2012 . Ogni prima domenica del mese ad Arezzo si svolge il mercatino dell'antiquariato che e' uno dei piu' famosi e piu' grandi d'Italia.Tutte le piazze,strade e vicoli del centro storico sono invase da bancarelle. Arezzo è un comune italiano di 100.447 abitanti, capoluogo dell'omonima provincia in Toscana.
La città di Arezzo è situata alla confluenza di tre delle quattro vallate che compongono la sua provincia. Direttamente a Nord della città ha inizio il Casentino, che è la valle percorsa dal primo tratto dell'Arno; a Nord-Ovest si trova il Valdarno Superiore, sempre percorso dall'Arno nel tratto che scorre fra Arezzo e Firenze; a Sud si trova la Val di Chiana, una pianura ricavata dalla bonifica di preesistenti paludi, il cui più importante corso d'acqua è il Canale Maestro della Chiana. Tramite l'agevole valico del Torrino e la valle del Cerfone, si ha accesso a Nord-Est alla quarta vallata, la Valtiberina, percorsa dal primo tratto del Tevere.
Il territorio del comune è molto ampio e vario: si passa dalla pianura che si apre sulla Val di Chiana e sull'Arno, alle colline, a Sud della città, a zone montuose, soprattutto ad Est. Come conseguenza della grande estensione del territorio comunale i comuni che vi confinano sono numerosi: sul lato della Val di Chiana ci sono Civitella in Val di Chiana, Castiglion Fiorentino, Cortona, Monte San Savino e Marciano della Chiana; sul lato del Valdarno superiore Laterina e Castiglion Fibocchi; sul lato del Casentino Capolona e Subbiano; sul lato della Valtiberina Anghiari, Monterchi e i due comuni umbri di Città di Castello e Monte Santa Maria Tiberina (toscano fino al 1927).

Arezzo is a city in eastern Tuscany, Italy. The hilltop Arezzo Cathedral features painted vaulted ceilings and a 15th-century fresco of Mary Magdalene by Piero della Francesca. Nearby, the Basilica di San Francesco has a chapel decorated with more Piero frescoes. The Basilica di San Domenico contains the 13th-century “Crucifix” painted by Cimabue. The imposing Medicean Fortress has sweeping city views.
Arezzo may not be a Tuscan centrefold, but those parts of its historic centre that survived merciless WWII bombings are as compelling as any destination in the region – the city's central square is as beautiful as it appears in Roberto Benigni's classic film La vita è bella (Life is Beautiful). Once an important Etruscan trading post, Arezzo was later absorbed into the Roman Empire. A free republic as early as the 10th century, it supported the Ghibelline cause in the violent battles between pope and emperor and was eventually subjugated by Florence in 1384.
Today, the city is known for its churches, museums and fabulously sloping Piazza Grande, across which a huge antiques fair spills each month. Come dusk, Arentini (locals of Arezzo) spill along the length of shop-clad Corso Italia for the ritual late-afternoon passeggiata (stroll).
Arezzo is a bargain hunters paradise. Every first Sunday of the month Arezzo’s main square, Piazza Grande, is packed with over 500 stalls which spill out down the city’s side streets and alleyways. The event draws huge crowds with 30,000 participants, both locals and tourists, in search of unique items. Roman coins, old telephones, ornated grandfather's clocks and china are a few typical items to be found. Even if you miss the monthly extravaganza, Arezzo still has many more antiques to offer in its copious and varied local shops which are open all year round.
Don’t forget to visit the city’s main square also without the hustle of the market. With many cafes and restaurants nearby, the area provides a great place to visit at a slow pace. Be sure to notice the many coat of arms on the surrounding buildings which evoke an authentic medieval atmosphere.
Sitting proudly on the hilltop of the town, this Gothic Cathedral hides intricate and awe-inspiring details inside. Don’t miss Piero della Francesca’s mural of the Mary Madeleine, medieval stained glass and the baptismal font relief designed by Donatello. Perhaps modest and unassuming on the outside, this medieval church houses Piero della Francesca’s impressive fresco cycle ‘Legends of the True Cross’. To see one of Italy’s most treasured and important pieces of Renaissance art, tourists should book in advance, in order to ensure they are not disappointed.
The three-tiered façade and the campanile have earned this church the name of “tower of a hundred holes” due to the numerous windows. But the real attraction of Santa Maria lies inside: visit the crypt to see jewelled artifacts and the bust of San Donato. Each of Arezzo’s neighbourhoods (or ‘Quartieri”) has their own team of knights who joust twice a year, in June and September. The tradition dates back to the 16th century as a means of military training, but now represents a lively social tradition. Tickets range in price, although spectators can watch the procession for free.
Easily forgotten and overlooked, any art lover should see the elaborate interiors of Giorgio Vasari’s renaissance home. As well as containing his own work and fresco’s, the archive contains letters hand written by Michelangelo and Pius V. Built partly on the remains of the amphitheatre, this quiet museum displays many cultural gems from the 2nd century as well as a great opportunity to walk amongst the amphitheatre ruins.

Ancient axis of the medieval city of Arezzo, with the name of “Borgo Maestro”, it has been for centuries the main street of the city, along most of it are prestigious buildings and shops: top brands, jewellers’, perfumeries and antique shops. Starting from via Spinello, once you have passed the Bastion of Santo Spirito, Corso Italia begins. The most interesting parts are the so called “high” parts at the top.
Once you go through the traffic lights in via Roma, after a short distance, on the right, you see the small square of San Michele onto which the church of the same name faces. The front of the church is 13th century neo-gothic and inside is a painting “Madonna, Child and Saints” (1466) attributed to Neri di Bicci.
You can stop to look at many things, between numbers 78 and 72, right on the corner with via Cavour, is the majestic palazzo Bacci of 15 century origins. On the opposite side, at numbers 41-45 is the 13th century palazzo Altucci. At 24-26, a tower house which goes back to the 13th century and finally the palazzo Camaiani-Albergotti extended in the 16th century, next to it is the 14th century Bigazza tower, modified during the fascist period.
At the top of the road is the impressive Santa Maria church, of Romanesque origins, the most beautiful church in the city which faces onto Corso Italia with the apse facing Piazza Grande. The front of the building, rebuilt in the 13th century, is made up of three loggias supported by columns; the lower two loggias are arched while the third and topmost one has architraves. The top part of the face is not gabled. At the bottom of the face, three large doors lead you in. On the right is the bell tower, it is called the tower of a hundred holes due to the double holes, ten on each side, going up 5 layers.
Among the numerous works of art inside, is a prestigious panel by Pietro Lorenzetti, Madonna and Saints (1320) and a wooden cross by Margarito (13th century). This itinerary ends at number 14, where you find the entrance to the Ivan Bruschi House Museum, here you can appreciate the history of antiques in Arezzo. A journey through time with furniture, paintings, sculptures, books, glassware, ceramics, silverware, jewellery and coins, from pre-historic times to now. The 13th century building was the Town Captain’s house and now the museum pays homage to Ivan Bruschi, collector and the man who, in 1968, started the Antiques Fair in Arezzo.
