Not far from Pontedera, Ponsacco is famous for the furniture
industry, which is the main activity in this lively centre and is
underscored by the numerous factories, the permanent fair and the
annual furniture fair which is hold between October and November.
Ponsacco

Tosse from its original medieval plant. Close to the modern town lies
the Villa Medicea di Camugliano, built in the XVI century by Alessandro
de Medici in pure Renaissance. It has a villa-castle architecture,
with four embattled towers which surround the main building that faces
the spectacular stairway.
