A city in eastern Tuscany at the confluence of the Arno, Chiana, and Casentino valleys, Arezzo contains Piero della Francesca's fresco cycle Legend of the True Cross in the Basilica of San Francesco—generally considered among the finest Renaissance frescoes in Italy. The sloping Piazza Grande, bordered by Vasari's loggia, hosts a major antiques fair on the first weekend of each month. The city's goldsmithing tradition continues as one of Italy's foremost jewellery-manufacturing centres.
