San Casciano val di Pesa reflects, the design of the landscape
and the architecture, the positive
late-rinascimental Florentine
influence.
The archaeological recoveries and the stratification toponomasticas attest the antiquity of the installation, whose density seems to find confirmation in the presence on the territory of four parishes (Decimo, San. Pancrazio, Sugana and Campoli) and of an elevated number of churches from them dependent. Many castles of the zone, that have become today in “villa-farms.” Later, with the diffusion of the technique of the diversified seeding, a conclusive factor has been the development of the tied up agricultural production to mezzadria, that has brought to the formation of shed installations and centers of exchange. Of its past of medieval suburb San Casciano preserves some features of the surrounded boundaries of the XIV century, with some towers and a door near which the church of Santa Maria al Prato. In the country the parishes of San Pancrazio, Campoli a Decimo and Sugana preserve important structures of the romanesque age. Interesting from an architectonic point of view are the small romanesque church of Sant'Andrea a Luiano and the gothic churches of Santa Maria a Bibbione and of Sant'Angelo a Vico with “The Abbot with a shovel” of Ambrogio Lorenzetti.
