The territory of the Province of Arezzo is in Tuscany's eastern hinterlands and borders with Umbria. This historic province used to be an Etruscan settlement, and it is the homeland of Piero della Francesca, one of the major Renaissance painters. There are many natural reserves in Valdarno -  the Casentinese area, Valtiberina, and the valleys of the Marecchia and Foglia rivers. 
The Province of Arezzo encompasses Mount Falterona, the northern shore of Lake Trasimeno, the mountains in Chianti, and the eastern side of the Alpe della Luna massif, where large woods and agricultural lands with vineyards and olive groves characterize the hilly landscape.
There are five distinct geographical areas: the small Arezzo plain, between the merging of the Canale Maestro with the Chiana dell’Arno and the hills; the Casentino valley; a section of Valdarno Superiore between the Pratomagno mountain range and the Chianti mountains; the Valdichiana valley; the Val Tiberina between the Alpe della Luna massif and the Alpe di Catenaia, where northern section of the river Tiber flows.
