The Medieval Festival of Arezzo, Tuscany: An Important Part of the City's History

[B&B Tarussio]

Hello everybody!!

Today I'm very excited because we are not so far from on of the most emotional and exceptional events of the year that we are going to live tomorrow in the afternoon at five p.m., the GIostra del Saracino (Joust of the Saracens).

By the way, last Sunday morning I was walking across the historic street ot our city center, I have been admired some beautiful medieval costumes which reminded me to the incredible medieval's atmosphere of Arezzo.

 

 

 

During all the week until the race of tomorrow, I could stay at night with friends of mine, eat together in the street of the historic center, dancing, singing, etc... .Last week I took some pictures where the tournament is going to play. I would like to share how Arezzo is beaufitufl and seems to be so differet at that time of the year:

 

 

Thanks in advance who will read these few words around a part of Arezzo's history, tradition and culture.

Alessandro.
