Arezzo

Piero della Francesca's frescoes – which belong in the same company as Masaccio's cycle in Florence and Michelangelo's in Rome – are what makes AREZZO a tourist destination, but in Italy the city is equally well known for its jewellers, its goldsmiths, and its trade in antiques: in the vicinity of the Piazza Grande there are shops filled with museum-quality furniture, and once a month the Fiera Antiquaria turns the piazza into a vast showroom.
