Arezzo
Arezzo is a hilltop Tuscan city whose compact, sloping old town holds Piero della Francesca's frescoes, a lively antiques trade and a medieval piazza without the tour-group crowds of Florence or Siena. Its layered Etruscan, Roman and Renaissance past is written into the streets themselves, making it feel like a working city that happens to be beautiful rather than a museum piece.
