Arezzo​

The Tuscan city of Arezzo played a starring role in Roberto Benigni's 1997 film Life is Beautiful; one of the most memorable scenes being when the family all sit astride the same bicycle as it passes through the sloping square: Piazza Grande. 

Arezzo's number one sight however, is the Basilica di San Francesco, home of the fresco cycle: The Legend of the True Cross.
