Impruneta is also the location of one of the most famous basilicas in Tuscany, the Sanctuary of Santa Maria, dating from 1060 and immortalised by Jacques Callot<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Callot’s engraving, created in 1620,\u00a0 of the piazza in front of the basilica illustrates the famous Fiera di San Luca (Fair of St. Luke)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a> that continues to this day.<\/p>\n

An excellent grape festival with floats and so on is held every year during Autumn.<\/p>\n

The terracotta kilns and pottery painting workshops are mostly clustered on via delle Fornace which can be reached after a short walk from Piazza Buondelmonti along Via delle Case and then Via Seconda Fonte.<\/p>\n

Impruneta is served by several bus lines (SITA, CAP, ATAF), making it easily accessible from Florence. However, a car is necessary to visit the ancient churches in the vicinity.<\/p>\n
