When we went, they were starting to prepare the square for a festival. They were in the process of building the bleachers and laying the earth (for the horses to run on). We grabbed a coffee and sat and watched the construction. Fun to watch with such a dramatic setting!
Beautiful plaza like a movie scene 🎬. We came at sunset and after dinner become dark and it was lovely many people eating and drinking outdoor.
A wet and rainy day in the heart of beautiful Arezzo ❤️🇮🇹. Amazing architecture in this hilly medieval town. Antique market must the 1st Saturday of every month.
It’s okay to stay for a few minutes and it is indeed beautiful but I think there should be more activities happening there since there’s not much to do and a few bars so nothing really special but there is still beauty!
Beautiful plaza in the middle of Arezzo. Pigeons flapping, dogs being walked and all kinds of people around. Surrounded by medieval churches and museums that we didn’t enter as it was late in the pm.
This is the biggest square, Sitting on top of the hill, in Arezzo. This is also location where they have the annual jousting medieval reenactment events. Will you look around, the surrounding buildings have all the coats of arms from different regions. It makes this location even more special.
If you like the movie life is beautiful ( la vita e Bella) by Roberto Benigni, this location is also the background for many of the scenes from the movie. You can follow signs that are posted nearby, recounting the scenes and the conversations happened in the movie.
If you’re only in Arezzo for a few hours, this is a must stop.
Many restos and bars surrounding the square. Great location to lounge around for a drink or just sit on the steps people watching especially in the evenings.
