Lorenzana

Lorenzana, a one time medieval hamlet and castle, has a view that spans the entire profile of the Pisan Hills. Deep in a green setting, it retains the typical appearance of a hillside hamlet.

The early Palazzo dei Lorenzi lies next to a church called Chiesa dei Santi Bartolomeo e Cristoforo and was the Podesteria headquarters during the Florentine rule. Today the building is used as private residences.

The territory is mainly involved in agriculture, producing cereals, olives and wine grapes. The traditional Wine Grape Festival takes place in mid-September, offering visitors an opportunity to taste typical dishes with the local wine.

The villa-farm of counts Giuli and Villa Sforni with its Romanesque church annex are of particular interest in the surrounding areas. The lovely landscape around the town makes the hillside centres of Colle Alberti and Vicchio well worth visiting.
