The lands that surround it are many and very different, but they are all recognized for a heartfelt belonging to this ancient province that is certainly not made solely of his, albeit solemn, Pisa.The landscape of these typically Tuscan countryside is characterized by rolling hills interspersed with lively plains and rivers also important, such as the Arno. Here nature and the hands of man have united for the preservation of an extraordinary landscape. There is above all the nature that gives precious thermal waters and harbingers of relaxing holidays, such as Casciana, San Giuliano and Uliveto; there is the nature of the beaches for everyone, from Marina di Pisa to Tirrenia, passing through Calambrone and Marina di Vecchiano; Then there is the nature of the silent and evocative countryside - the one that has as a backdrop places of peace as Fauglia, Orciano or Lajatico, with its Theatre of Silence, in fact -; there is the unspoilt one of the Tenuta di San Rossore, where the scents of the pine forest welcome a rich fauna. A nature that welcomes the presence of man in the hills dotted with farmhouses and cypresses and on Mount Pisano, designed by mule tracks, terraces and hiking trails.It is in these same countryside that the strong peasant origins of this territory are preserved: the many farms that produce wine, oil, fruit, but also wheat and sunflowers provide quality products that make the food and wine of the Terre di Pisa is heterogeneous and characterized by details that make it unique. Among the excellences to mention there is undoubtedly the IGP oil of the Monti Pisani; not to mention what the vineyards of Terricciola give, for example, or in general the towns touched by the Strada del Vino delle Colline Pisane; the products of San Miniato such as white truffle or mallegato, a sausage Slow Food presidium; the beach honey; the derivatives of Mucco Pisano and wild boar; as well as the many recipes handed down from generations and now well-reviewed by some chefs.The ability to transform precious raw materials into top products is the same of the artisans, who in this area still retain the desire to live a job done with skill. This is the case of the cities of ceramics such as Montopoli and Calcinaia, the baskets intertwined with Buti and the furniture of Cascina and Ponsacco, but also of the leather district, the area of Castelfranco, Santa Croce, Santa Maria a Monte, which emerges for the processing of leather.The craftsmanship has been sublimated in art in Pisa, a city that does not end in its Piazza dei Miracoli, but whose beauty is made of characteristic squares such as the Vettovaglie and the Pera, museums and its poetic Lungarni. The art of these areas, which is a continuum throughout the territory, does not disdain modern and contemporary works: you go from Calci, with the monumental Certosa that houses the Museum of Natural History, Vicopisano and Pontedera. Equally worthy are the villages scattered around the countryside, which often surprise with important museums: for example Capannoli, Chianni, Lari, Palaia and Peccioli.There is another common thread, finally, that unites all the localities of this territory and that is the best way to know it thoroughly. Intense and lively are the folkloristic events, the village festivals and historical re-enactments, who know how to bring out what is really the soul of the Terre di Pisa.LIFE IN TUSCANYTuscany is made of all the best that Italy has to offer: a thousand-year history, a rich culture, artisan traditions handed down from generations and, last but not least, food and wine, famous all over the world.The AREAThere are many reasons to visit Tuscany, the beautiful land set in central Italy.
