Editing Arezzo (section)

==Geography==
Arezzo is set on a steep hill, rising from the [[floodplain]] of the [[River Arno]]. In the upper part of the town are the cathedral, the town hall and the Medici Fortress (''Fortezza Medicea''), from which the main streets branch off towards the lower part as far as the gates. The upper part of the town maintains its medieval appearance despite the addition of later structures. Arezzo's city proper is near the high risk areas for earthquakes, but located in a transitional area where the risk for severe earthquakes is much lower than in nearby [[Umbria]] and [[Abruzzo]], albeit it is slightly more vulnerable than [[Florence]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thelocal.it/20161028/which-areas-of-italy-have-the-highest-risk-of-earthquakes|title=Which areas of Italy have the highest risk of earthquakes?|publisher=[[The Local Italy]]|date=28 October 2016|access-date=12 December 2016}}</ref> Notable earthquakes are still a very rare phenomenon in the [[Province of Arezzo|province]], with a 4.6 quake {{convert|25|km|mi}} to its north-east that claimed no lives on 26 November 2001 the exception.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usp000atg4#executive|title=M 4.6 Central Italy 2001-11-26|publisher=Earthquakes USGS.gov|access-date=12 December 2016}}</ref>
