Il Valdarno it is basically a part of the Arno basin: in particular, there is the upper Valdarno, from Arezzo to Firenze and the lower Valdarno, from Florence to Pisa.
The area is particularly impressive at any time of the year because it is rich in history and tradition, as well as being very beautiful from a landscape point of view. Among the various towns to visit, I recommend you stop in San Giovanni Valdarno, birthplace of Masaccio, in which the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie predominates with its splendid museum: the latter was set up about twenty years ago and in it are preserved paintings of extraordinary beauty, including the fifteenth-century Annunciation of San Giovanni Valdarno by Beato Angelico .
Il Old Town of the city has maintained its typically medieval aspect, with its narrow alleys, squares and traditional shops which, in villages like these, seem to survive as in a page of a history book.
From a naturalistic point of view, do not miss the famous "Balze" of the Valdarno, geological formations made up of sands, gravels and layered clays that reach a height of about one hundred meters: walking, following one of the many possible itineraries, between peaks, gullies and gullies is a truly incredible experience, but also the laziest they will be able to enjoy this show by traveling the surrounding roads with their own car and stopping at the panoramic points to get a better idea of the overall context.
But this territory is also famous for it Shopping: here, in fact, you can take advantage of discounts and offers in the various outlets which, at much lower prices than the shops, will offer you items from Italian and international fashion brands. Among these it is certainly worth mentioning thePrada Outlet, one of the most supplied nationally: it is located exactly in Montevarchi (Arezzo) in Levanella, state road 69 (tel. 055 9789481).
Then theDolce and Gabbana outlet, not far from the previous one and which sells clothing, footwear and accessories from the previous season: it is located, exactly, in Incisa in Val D'Arno (Florence), in via S. Maria Maddalena 49 (tel. 055 8331300) .
