Discover Arezzo

Arezzo is the capital of the easternmost province of Tuscany, a beautiful area of rolling hills gradually merging into the Apennine backbone of the Italian peninsula. Nestled on the hill that is the geographic center of the city, Arezzo is an exciting, safe and beautiful place to study. It is conveniently located near much larger cultural cities such as Florence, Rome, Siena and Bologna and therefore offers OU students a rare opportunity to discover the rich artistic beauty of many Italian cities while based in an authentic, medieval town.
