Arezzo is a city in central Italy, capital of the province of the same name, located in Tuscany. Arezzo is about 80 km (50 miles) south-east of Florence, at an elevation of 296 meters above sea level. Frazioni (administrative subdivision): Olmo, Rigutino, Puliciano, Vitiano, Palazzo del Pero, Quarata, Ponte Buriano, Ponte alla Chiassa, Venere, Santa Maria alla Rassinata, Tregozzano, San Giuliano, Le Poggiola - Comuni limitrofi (administrative subdivision): Anghiari, Capolona, Castiglion Fibocchi, Castiglion Fiorentino, Città di Castello , Civitella in Val di Chiana, Cortona, Laterina, Marciano della Chiana, Monte San Savino, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina , Monterchi, Subbiano. Arezzo was founded by the Etruscans. It may have been one of the twelve most important Etruscan cities, the so-called Dodecapolis; the famous Chimera of Arezzo, now in Florence, was found here. As Arretium it was a flourishing city in the days of the Roman Empire, well-known in particular for its pottery manufactures (Arezzo ware, bucchero). During the Middle Ages, much of its earlier architecture was dismantled to reuse the stones for fortifications. Arezzo was an independent city-state from the 11th century until 1384, when it was incorporated into the Tuscan State of Florence.
