Charlie, Nathalie, Ellen, and Joe - Arezzo

The best part of our time in Arezzo

We landed in Arezzo on the first Sunday in November, the day of the month they hold the Arezzo's Antiques Exhibition (the oldest, the largest) (Their words, not mine) This means blocks and blocks of vendors, hundreds of tables of antiques, and flea market collectables. But our favorite part of the day was meeting fellow vter's Ciambella (Charles and Nathalie). We had a wonderful lunch together and have made some new friends.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Easy to walk around the old downtown
In a nutshell:Would like to visit again

Last visit to Arezzo: Nov 2004

coincidence! I'll be driving in Tuscany May-June. Lucca, a fav of mine, is on again, for the antique market among other things.... If I miss it, I'll go to Arezzo which is Market Numero Uno! :))

Great fun to meet VT friends in Italy. Arezzo is one of the few places we missed on our Italy trips.

Charlie refuses to take any more night train from Arezzo so we are out of luck on trying new restaurants. However, that could be a blessing in disguise.
