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. 

Arezzo Events

As well as being the perfect base from which to travel in Italy and beyond, Arezzo itself is a lively city that offers all sorts of entertainment all year round, from food markets to exhibitions, from cinema to sport, from traditional festivities to the latest in Italian music! Students who decide to come to OUA have plenty of opportunities to explore and discover what the city has to offer and will find it a fun and engaging location.
