Maybe it is written in its DNA that Arezzo is the town of gold.

Even before the Roman army conquered Italy and part of the Old Continent, the Etruscans who lived in this corner of Tuscany demonstrated their hand skills producing the "Chimera", a bronze artefact that was found in the first half of the 16th century near Porta di San Florentino; nowadays the "Chimera" is on display at the Archaeological Museum of Florence.

In Arezzo there are about 100 manufactures and 500 small and medium companies working in the sector.

It is, therefore, not uncommon to come across shop windows with wonderful necklaces, elegant rings, superlative chokers, charming bracelets and incredible knick-knacks on display during a walk along Arezzo narrow streets and squares. And all of these golden objects are produced by highly skilled people, which is one of the distinctive features of made in Italy.

While you are choosing the villa in Arezzo or the farmhouse in its countryside for your holidays in Tuscany, look for the events dedicated to the precious metal in the calendar of events in Arezzo. Your better half will certainly appreciate it.

Apart from "OroArezzo", a yearly fair that attracts to the town of the Cathedral of San Donato 500 exhibitors and more than 10,000 visitors and buyers coming from the USA, Russia and the Middle East, there are the two workshops "Incontri d`Autunno" and "Last minute".
