Carmignano

We are located in the Province of Prato, between Florence and Pistoia, precisely in Carmignano. Its hilly village leaves you breathless, a corner of paradise surrounded by greenery. Important tourist point thanks to the Medici Villa La Ferdinando, also called the Villa of the Hundred Chimneys, one for each room, designed by Buon talenti, which has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which can be visited free of charge by reservation. The typical products of the area are highly prized, certainly the wines such as Rosato, Barco Reale, Vinsanto and the eye of Pernice DOC, thanks to the long tradition of winemaking in the area, told in the Museum of Vine and Wine. Another product not to be missed are figs, sweet and pasty, to be tasted every third Sunday of October at the Benvenuto fico dried festival. The macaroons created in the 19th century by Giovanni Bellini with peeled and bitter sweet almonds. In September, however, at its peak there is the Feast of San Michele, the four districts challenge each other in street theater with the grand finale of the Palio dei Ciuchi.
