The monthly antiques market/flea market with its 500 exhibitors and about 100 little shops open all year round during the first weekend of the month, is, since 1968, an added incentive to visit this art-laden city of Arezzo--right in the heart of Tuscany. The antique market takes advantage of the extraordinary scenery of Piazza San Francesco, Piazza Grande, and the Logge del Vasari. The stalls spread over the cobbled-stone side alleys and squares across the historical center, with a backdrop of ancient stone buildings. The influx of Italians and tourists alike, filling the streets of the bustling open-air market, transform the character of the city for the two days of the antique market/flea market.

Here in Italy at Easter time, the shop windows fill with elaborately designed chocolate eggs. There are eggs as large as 1 ft tall, and most are hollow with a beautifully wrapped gift inside, including toys for children, and fun things for adults too (sunglasses, jewelry, collectibles.)
Ahhh, but here in Arezzo, we have our very own Vestri Cioccolato--an artisanal chocolate producer who grows their own cocoa at their plantation, Santo Domingo. When you visit Arezzo at Easter, I will take you to Vestri Cioccolato, where you can bring your own gift and have a custom egg made. We say thanks a lot Arezzo for providing us such an high standard of living! When Gina London decided to tell her life story and share her experiences with the world through her book Because I'm Small and You Love Me, she wanted to launch it in a way that celebrated the places where her experiences happened. Having played a big part in the story, we hosted a book launch and signing event here in Arezzo. Bravissima Gina!
The brand Oro Arezzo, is renowned the world over and synonymous with jewelry from Italy. The brand represents our strong gold district of more than 1,200 companies.
Yes, it's true I have to admit...me in the arms of Luca Argentero, one of our most famous Italian actors, it's more intense than to wear a gold ring or necklace. Here we are in Piazza Grande in Arezzo for the Gold Fair. Luca was the spokesperson for the October 2014 event. |
THAT'S MEIt’s one thing to “know” someone, it’s another thing entirely to invest time to learn about that someone’s family, their health, their interests. It takes time and effort to form a relationship – to show you really care. Categories
