This contrasting part of Tuscany combines mountainous and more urbanised areas, alternating between industrial zones, sprawling metropolitan cities and softly undulating hills covered in vineyards and olive groves, alongside charming villages, historical centres, busy factories and artisan workshops. This itinerary, planned to last a minimum of three days, begins in the hills of Florence, where the Mugello ends, and winds its way through the provinces of Prato, Pistoia and Lucca, before concluding in Pisa. Our starting point is a historical residence near Fiesole, in the locality of Vaglia. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/structures\/villa-pozzolini-di-bivigliano\/\"><strong>Villa Pozzolini<\/strong> <strong>in Bivigliano<\/strong><\/a> was originally a castle belonging to the Cattani family of Cercina which was transformed by the Ginori family in the late 16th century. Surrounded by a vast historic park rich in exotic tree species, the Villa has been owned by the Pozzolini family since shortly before the unification of Italy and serves as a venue for private events, galas, film sets, photoshoots, conferences and special celebrations. After leaving Vaglia, drive in the direction of Careggi, where our next stop is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiesole.it\/\">Fiesole<\/a>, home to the archaeological site featuring the Roman remains of the theatre and baths, and the Etruscan-Roman temple. Those going inside the Archaeological Museum will also be privy to the Costantini Collection containing Greek ceramics, Magna Graecia pieces and Etruscan artifacts. The town centre also boasts the Cathedral of San Romolo, and there are several castles located in the surrounding area, along with notable villas, such as the renowned <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiesole.it\/villa-medici.html\">Villa Medici<\/a> (also known as the <em>Palagio di Fiesole<\/em>) with its terraced garden offering panoramic views of Florence, undeniably the most distinctive of all the Medici villas and a favourite of Lorenzo the Magnificent.<br \/>\nAfter bypassing the Tuscan capital, our route takes us to Prato, the most industrial city in the region, where the largest textile district in Europe is based. It is definitely worth stopping here to appreciate the Piazza del Comune and Piazza del Duomo town hall and cathedral squares, with the characteristic two-tone fa\u00e7ade in alberese and green Prato marble, and to visit the Church and Convent of San Domenico. Be sure to discover Prato\u2019s great pastry tradition: pick up a box of the exquisite Prato <em>biscotti<\/em> made by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.antoniomattei.it\/en\/home\">Antonio Mattei<\/a>\u2019s award-winning bakery and taste the delicious \u2018<em>peschine<\/em>\u2019 pastries from <a href=\"https:\/\/pasticcerianuovomondo.com\/?lang=en\">Nuovo Mondo<\/a>, crafted by master pastry chef Paolo Sacchetti. For lunch, head to one of these two popular spots: explore the culinary fusion of <a href=\"https:\/\/pepeneroristoranteprato.it\/\">Pepenero<\/a> on Via Zarini or sample the fares at the <a href=\"https:\/\/dekitalianbistrot.com\/en\/dek-prato-2\/\">Il Dek Italian Bistrot<\/a> in Piazza delle Carceri, which also has a branch on the island of Ibiza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Northern Tuscany often experiences snow on the Apennine mountains during the winter, creating a landscape [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":27467,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564,499],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-territories","category-toscana-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tuscany - From Fiesole to the \u2018Terre di Pisa\u2019 region, following the northern hills of Tuscany | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/from-fiesole-to-the-terre-di-pisa-region-following-the-northern-hills-of-tuscany\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Tuscany - From Fiesole to the \u2018Terre di Pisa\u2019 region, following the northern hills of Tuscany | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Northern Tuscany often experiences snow on the Apennine mountains during the winter, creating a landscape [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/from-fiesole-to-the-terre-di-pisa-region-following-the-northern-hills-of-tuscany\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-10-15T20:32:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-11-28T13:18:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/MONTEC1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1280\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"960\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/from-fiesole-to-the-terre-di-pisa-region-following-the-northern-hills-of-tuscany\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/from-fiesole-to-the-terre-di-pisa-region-following-the-northern-hills-of-tuscany\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alessandro D'Agostino\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/44c5fbb58a9ff02a18beac7215decfd7\"},\"headline\":\"Tuscany &#8211;
