lands of the renaissance charming town and hills around florence
In this romantic landscape, the towns of Capraia and Limite, Cerreto Guidi, Empoli, Montelupo Fiorentino and Vinci conserve memories of ancient civilizations, and of medieval castles and villages, although the most visible mark has been left by the Florentine Renaissance.

Lands of the Medici in Cerreto Guidi, paintings and sculptures from the 14th and 16th Centuries in the museum of Empoli, traditional 16th Century ceramics in Montelupo Fiorentino and Capraia e Limite and one of the greatest figures of the Renaissance era: Leonardo da Vinci, whose monumental tracks can be followed in the city of his birth. The renown Tuscan hospitality together with ample tourist-friendly services make this area perfect for an exceptional vacation. Come for a visit and you won't be able to resist the desire to stay!

You can visit three of the most important museums of the area with a cumula-
tive ticket , with unlimited validity and for sale at the ticket offices of all three museums: Mu-seo della Colle-giata in Empoli, Museo Archeo-logicoe della Ce-ramica in Montelupo and Museo Leonardiano in Vinci.

lands of the renaissance are perfect For any season
In autumn and in winter you can visit I the Lands of the Renaissance in an elegant and relaxing atmosphere. At this time of the year there are fewer tourists and places of interest are more accessible.

The mild climate of this area brings splendid sunny days in September and October and allows for pleasurable visits even in the colder months. Museums and places of interest are open year-round, as are hotels and "agriturismo" (accommodation in countryside houses), all of which offer special prices and off-season discounts. Surprisingly, it's in these months that the landscape appears most vibrant. September brings the annual grape-harvest, while November and December feature the gathering of olives, which culminates in the year's first opportunity to taste the newest wines and olive oils. Involving yourself in the tasting simply requires attending one of the numerous local festivals, such as the Festival of New Wines and olive oils held on the last Sunday of November in Vinci.

School trips in the Lands of the Renaissance
Educational itineraries and school trips can be organized for any age-group. The museums of the area offer
specialized programs in which visits are accompanied by hands-on learning, outdoor excursions and
supplemental lessons, all at reduced student rates. For more information ask for the school-trip brochure available at the tourist office.

You can discover the Lands of the Renaissance wandering freely by car, by bike or even on foot. Besides the main road, you can follow the more scenic routes to get a better sense of the beauty of the landscape.

Pistoia-Vinci.
From Pistoia the road goes up into the hills passing San Baronto to reach Montalbano. This is a road as beautiful as it is winding. Not recommended for buses.

Empoli-Vinci

The road continues through the lush Tuscan hillsides until you reach Vinci.
