Calcinaia is known by two names whose origins are linked to the local craftsmanship that has developed here over the centuries. Vico Vitri, because vitrified crockery has been worked here since the year 1000, Calcinaia because of the presence of special soil and a production of splendid ceramics since the 17th century. Today, many of these kilns and farms have been transformed into splendid residential complexes that preserve the typical Tuscan style with modern comforts, an ideal choice for living close to the city but not losing the 'open-air' lifestyle, great living surfaces and low energy consumption.
