SESTO FIORENTINO
Sesto Fiorentino is an important industrial centre which
was founded as a Roman municipality.
|
|
| The
city is famous thanks to the manufacturing of the fine china Ginori
di Doccia, a hamlet of Sesto. A Museum (il Museo delle Porcellane
di Doccia) documents the famous factory, which was founded in 1737.
In Sesto Fiorentino you also find two important Etruscan tombs, the
tomb of Montagnola in the park of Villa Manfredi and the second tomb
in Villa la Mula. If you want to enjoy the splendid view over Florence
you should take the so-called Strada dei Colli Alti which starts at
the marvellous village of Colonnata along the Monte Morello. |
