#FreeHotelStay Arezzo in Tuscany, Italy, is famous for its antique market that used to be held once a month. The market, with tents lined up in Piazza Grande, which was also the setting for the movie Life is Beautiful, is said to be one of the largest antique markets in Italy. It is held on the first Sunday and the Saturday before. It is a small town that can be explored in one day, but the antique market is held for two days, so I recommend a two-day, one-night stay. Antica Osteria l’Agania is recommended for lunch. The word osteria in the name means a Japanese izakaya where you can eat and drink alcohol, but this osteria has a nice old-fashioned atmosphere with wine and fiasco displayed on the walls! Italian appetizers are delicious! I want to eat liver pate and prosciutto with every meal. I really liked the simple pasta with plenty of truffles. Lunch and dinner start later in Italy than in Japan, but the opening hours are also to Japanese tastes. From 12:00 and 19:00. It's a popular restaurant that doesn't take reservations, so you can rest assured if you go when it opens. Antica Osteria l'Agania Via Giuseppe Mazzini, 10 +39-0575-295381 Thurs-Tues, 12:00-14:30, 19:00-22:30

#FreeHotelStay The Arezzo antique market, said to be one of the largest in Italy, is fun even just to look at. It takes place for two days, on the first Sunday of every month and the Saturday before. We recommend planning your trip to Arezzo around this date. Even the shopkeepers who look intimidating will talk a lot if you ask them about the details of their products. There are all kinds of things lined up, from large items such as furniture and chandeliers to tableware such as dishes and cutlery, clothes, shoes, clothing, jewelry, old stamps, used books, and products such as rosaries, which are typical of Italy. It's fun just to walk around and look at them. It's a little difficult, but it's ok to try to negotiate! We recommend walking around the hilly streets, as antique stores are spread out all over the city, including the Grande Square in the center of the city.
