Something like this:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void) {
	int i;
	int Tamano;
	int **Arreglo;
	scanf("%d", %Tamano);
	Arreglo = malloc(Tamano * sizeof (char *));
	for (i = 0; i < Tamano; ++i)
		Arreglo[i] = malloc(Tamano * sizeof(int));
	....
	return 0;
}

Of course, malloc() should always be checked for errors.  This will give
you ability to access Arreglo as if it were an array.  From
Arreglo[0][0] to Arreglo[Tamano-1][Tamano-1].
