I blogged about this spot some three years back when I spent a month studying in Arezzo. Each day on my way to school I passed a church which held a statue of the Madonna that I fell in love with. There was something about this piece of art that just spoke to me and […]
I love this view. Standing at the top of Anghiari’s ( located in the province of Arezzo) main street and gazing off into Umbria in the distance.
I’m not shy about professing my love for Arezzo and the surrounding area. It’s a slice of the real Tuscany and I could take up residence there in a heartbeat. If you find yourself near Arezzo and have a car, you really should take a drive to the medieval town of Anghiari. Situated on the […]
Need I say more. Italy, countryside, olive trees, old stone building…
I first discovered Vestri a few years back when I attended school in Arezzo. It was Easter week and there was a class trip to this cioccolateria which is located just outside of the town center. It was an amazing afternoon, complete with tastes and a behind the scene tour of the chocolate production. I […]
If you’ve read my blog before you know I love Arezzo. If you’re a new reader, I’ll let you in on a little secret, Arezzo is an off the beaten track small Italian city that is worth a detour. I first fell in love with this town three years ago when I chose to spend […]

I just walked down to my favorite pasticceria for one (well, probably two or three) last treat and they weren’t open! Well, problem easily solved as there’s another place around the corner and a few […]
Strolling through the antique fair on Saturday, I noticed a group of people hovering in the doorway to a courtyard.Thinking it might have something to do with food I went over and joined the crowd. Inside, under the porticos was a collection of vintage vespas. I walked along checking them out, glad that I had […]
On our very first trip to Italy some years back we met an American woman and her daughter who had been staying in the same borgo as we were and they told us about the Arezzo Antique Fair. Held once a month, this is the biggest of its kind in the country and it’s most […]
I’ve been planning an afternoon excursion to the town of Anghiari which is about 16 miles through the countryside from Arezzo. I first saw the town a few years back as I passed by on the bus and I’ve always wanted to return. Taking the bus is not something I’ve done on my own yet. […]
