Arezzo was different than I expected. It was quite a bit larger and more developed than these other towns I've been making day trips to, not that you can tell from this picture. This is right outside of the archeological museum in Arezzo, it's the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre (as in the colosseum).
Separate from the archeological museum, there was an exhibition of a bronze statue of Minerva/Athena that was originally found in Arezzo and has been in the Florence Archeological museum for years. It was a big exhibition focusing on the recent restoration of the statue. Look at this photo of this huuuge room... with basically just the one statue in it. The restoration of the statue was done by none other than Renzo! My archeological conservation teacher. Here's a photo of Renzo at work from a video on the restoration that was on loop in the exhibition. I was pretty proud.
