Province of Arezzo
Province of Arezzo, Administrative province in Tuscany, Italy
Description
The Province of Arezzo is an administrative area in Tuscany that encompasses mountain ranges, river valleys, and varied terrain across its territory. The region is subdivided into multiple municipalities with different settlement patterns, ranging from small villages to larger towns.
History
The territory began as an Etruscan settlement that later became significant under Roman rule as a major trading post. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the region came under Florentine control and developed into an important commercial hub.

Practical
The provincial capital Arezzo is easily accessible by train from larger cities and serves as a hub for exploring the territory. Local bus services link the various municipalities, though having your own transport offers more flexibility when visiting smaller towns and villages.
