Carmignano

Carmignano stands out enchantingly with its territory in the heart of the rolling hills of Prato's Montalbano, a true symphony of emotions that embraces places such as Artimino, Bacchereto, Comeana, La Serra, Poggio alla Malva, Santa Cristina a Mezzana, Seano and Verghereto.
Populated by just over 14,500 inhabitants, Carmignano is a universe of wonders that invites you to explore it without limits.

This territory is an authentic treasure chest, with archaeological sites linked to the millenary Etruscan history. The famous Etruscan Tomb of Montefortini in Comeana, the evocative Necropolis of Prato Rosello, the fascinating archaeological area of Pietramarina and the Etruscan Archaeological Museum F. Nicosia in Artimino are just some of the gems waiting to be discovered.

But Carmignano doesn't stop here in showing you its beauty. Its churches are authentic works of art: from the Church of SS. Francesco and Michele in Carmignano, which houses the magnificent masterpiece of the Visitation by Pontormo, to the evocative Church of San Leonardo in Artimino and the imposing Abbey of San Giusto al Pinone.

A fundamental stop on your trip is Artimino, a medieval village that opens its doors to one of the famous Renaissance villas built by the Medici family: the Medici Villa La Ferdinanda, a true jewel recognized as a UNESCO heritage site since 2013.

But it doesn't end here! The Quinto Martini Museum Park, in Seano, is a true open-air art gallery among the most prestigious in Europe, accessible to all, which offers an unparalleled artistic experience.

And for those who love good food, the local trattorias invite you on a journey of the senses to discover the authentic flavors of traditional cuisine. You will be able to delight yourself with the excellent wine , available in numerous wine shops and cellars, and delve into the history and production of the renowned "Carmignano" at the Museum of Vine and Wine. Carmignano is a place where history, culture, art, food and wine intertwine in a unique experience not to be missed.
