The '''province of Arezzo''' ({{langx|it|provincia di Arezzo}}) is a [[Provinces of Italy|province]] in the [[Tuscany]] region of [[Italy]]. Its capital is the city of [[Arezzo]]. The province is bordered by the regions of [[Marche]], [[Emilia-Romagna]], [[Umbria]], and the provinces [[province of Siena|Siena]] and [[Metropolitan City of Florence|Florence]] of Tuscany.<ref name="Domenico2002">{{cite book|author=Roy Palmer Domenico|title=The Regions of Italy: A Reference Guide to History and Culture|year=2002|publisher=Greenwood Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-313-30733-1}}</ref> It has an area of {{convert|3233|km2|mi2}} and a total population of about 344,000 in 36 ''[[comuni]]'' ({{singular}}: ''[[comune]]'').<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.comuni-italiani.it/051/index.html|title=Province of Arezzo|publisher=Comuni-Italiani|access-date=1 August 2015}}</ref><ref name="ustat">{{cite web|url=http://www.urbistat.it/AdminStat/en/it/demografia/dati-sintesi/arezzo/51/3|title=Province of AREZZO|publisher=Urbistat|access-date=1 August 2015}}</ref>
The north of the province of Arezzo contains the [[Pratomagno]] and [[Casentino]] mountain ranges and valleys, and the southern areas of the region contain the fertile Tiber and Chiana valleys.<ref name="Domenico2002"/> The province capital [[Arezzo]] was a major [[Etruscan civilization|Etruscan]] urban centre known as ''Aritim'', and a wall was built around the province in this period of rule. In Roman times, the settlement was given the Latinized name ''Arretium'' and expanded down from the hills. Arretium assisted Ancient Rome in the [[Punic Wars]] against [[Ancient Carthage]]. After attacks from barbarians, the settlement mostly disappeared in around 400 AD.<ref name="Domenico2002"/>
Towards the end of the 11th century, the settlement grew again into a city, despite being located near the powerful nations of Siena and Florence. Its ___location led to its ownership changing repeatedly; Florence owned the province after the [[Battle of Campaldino]], later lost authority over it, and then annexed it again in 1384.<ref name="Domenico2002"/> Florence possessed the province until 1859, when [[Grand Duchy of Tuscany|Tuscany]] was annexed to the [[Kingdom of Sardinia]] during the ''[[Risorgimento]]''. The province is in close proximity to [[Camaldoli]], ancestral seat of the [[Camaldolese]] monks.<ref name="Domenico2002"/>
The [[Romito di Laterina bridge|Romito di Laterina]], the bridge in the background of the ''[[Mona Lisa]],'' is located in the province of Arezzo, in the [[municipality]] of [[Laterina]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Giuffrida |first=Angela |date=2023-05-03 |title=Italian historian claims to have identified bridge in Mona Lisa backdrop |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/may/03/italian-historian-claims-to-have-identified-bridge-in-mona-lisa-backdrop |access-date=2023-06-20 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref>
