About San Zeno
What are the main landmarks in San Zeno?
Two names anchor the quarter. San Leonardo is its church, and the second draw is a company museum: the Museo aziendale of Gori & Zucchi, signed for the Uno A Erre mark, which sets out the goldsmithing trade that Arezzo is known for. Gold is the thread.
Visitors arrive for the workshop story more often than for monuments, and San Zeno reads accordingly.
What is the history of San Zeno?
Metal work carries the recorded past. The company museum of Gori & Zucchi, which trades under the Uno A Erre name, stands in San Zeno and sets out the goldsmithing story that ties the quarter to Arezzo. San Leonardo is the other landmark.
Between them a visitor gets the working history rather than the ceremonial one.
Where is San Zeno?
San Zeno is a named quarter within Arezzo, fixed on the map by San Leonardo and by the Uno A Erre museum rather than by any edge of its own.
