The town of impruneta in the chianti region is best known for the production of terracotta and of miracles – not necessarily at the same time or thought of this way by the same people, i suppose.
Impruneta is located on the chiantigiana (ss222), a pleasant road that winds from south florence through the chianti hills. speed limits are 50/70km per hour and you might as well respect it and enjoy the views (there are plenty of speed traps to enforce it, and the curves can be dangerous). There is an ample parking lot as you enter town. Below you’ll find some suggestions for a pleasant day in the area.
700 years ago, on march 23 2009, the guild of impruneta kilnsmen was founded and recorded in a notarial act. the area has since been known for the excellence of its terracotta handicraft, both decorative and practical in function. to emphasize this history the town now displays very large pots at key locations, and parks are beautifully edged and ornamented by terracotta elements. whether you’re just interested or if you want to buy some pots, it’s a great idea to visit some of the producers
