Carmignano, scenic countryside chosen as the home of the Medici family during the Renaissance, also for its fantastic microclimate. One of the oldest towns of Tuscany, offers wine as far back as 1470, and a very good quality olive oil. Strategic point for its proximity to everything: Florence 25 Km, Lucca 35 and the Versilia coast, just 80 Km. Make sure you visit the Etruscan necropolis of Prato Rosello immersed in a unique natural environment that presents numerous burial mounds dating back to VII-VI centuries BC Also worth visiting the archaeological site of fortified Pietramarina (VII-I cent. BC.), Located on top of the Montalbano and used by the Etruscans as a strategic point of control of the territory. In the church of St. Michael in Carmignano you can see the famous altarpiece of the 'Visitation' (1530), the meeting between Mary and Elizabeth, surely one of the most popular paintings by Pontormo. Next to the villa is a farm with farm animals where you can taste and buy excellent wine, olive oil and eggs.
