IN THE HEART OF TUSCANY

Montelupo Fiorentino

Discovering a land rich in heritage

Montelupo Fiorentino, as the name suggests, is situated just a few kilometres from Florence itself. In view of its distinctive history, it is a place that embodies many of the typical traits of Tuscany: a love of art, quality craftsmanship, the entrepreneurial spirit of the local families, together with evocative landscapes, a passion for good food and wine and an innate spirit of hospitality.

THE MUSEUMS

In May 2008 the new premises of the CERAMICS MUSEUM, were inaugurated. Here over 3000 pieces are exhibited, most of which are the result of excavation and research work carried out on our territory. It is a unique museum in Italy owing to the particular arrangement and typology of the material exhibited.

In 2007 the ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM, was opened. It is a new museum housed within a complex of formerly religious buildings.
