Arezzo (Tuscany)

Arezzo is a city in Italy, capital of the province of the same name, located in Tuscany. The Piazza Grande is the most noteworthy medieval square in the city, opening behind the 13th century Romanesque apse of Santa Maria della Pieve. Once the main marketplace of the city, it is currently the site of the Giostra del Saracino ("Joust of the Saracen"). Arezzo has a starring role in Roberto Benigni's film Life Is Beautiful (La vita è bella, 1997). It is the place in which the main characters live before they are shipped off to a Nazi concentration camp.

We have started the process of buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Gavorrano - Caldana, which has not been lived in for 8 years. Electricity, Gas, Water has been turned off.

@Catriona M asks:

I’ve recently bought a property in the Coreglia Antelminelli area. I need a strong person to help to clear the garden. Is there an equivalent of gumtree (which I use in the UK) where I can find a labourer to help with this? 

@Catriona M asks:

I’m looking for a local builder in the Barga or Coreglia Antelminelli area, preferably one who speaks a bit of English. Any recommendations would be great.
