Sunset at Piazza Grande

Scenic route above Arezzo, famous for Pantani participation in the Giro diItalia.

The Piazza Grande, Arezzo In 1200, the Piazza Grande in Arezzo was still unpaved and stretched from the Red Tower of the Palazzo Comunale on Via Pellicceria to the Borgunto and eastward to the Palazzo del Popolo. At that time, the square was twice its current size and surrounded by the towers of the old noble families. However, the destructive work of Cosimo de' Medici, who transformed the city into a fortress, led to the demolition of many historic buildings and even the burial of the ancient Roman forum. This necessitated a restoration project, including the construction of the loggias, which was entrusted to Giorgio Vasari. Vasari began work in 1572 but died the following year. The work was completed according to the original design under the supervision of Alfonso Parigi. The loggias feature architectural ornamentation in sandstone typical of Arezzo, while the column bases are made of Rapolano travertine, the same material used for the staircase of the Palazzo della Fraternita. The portico is covered with cross vaults, and the windows are surmounted by tympana with classical frames.

Aqueducts continued to be built even after the Romans. This one dates from the 16th/17th century. It was built by the Fraternita dei Laici, a congregation dedicated to charity and public service.
