Meeting with the guide and visit to:
-Ex Flower trading centre a very interesting structure
architecturally, dating back to the late 1940's. It presently
houses the biennial Flower Festival
-S. Francesco church this church is of Gothic origins which
houses a plate representing Saint Francis of the 18th century,
attributed to Bonaventura Berlinghieri
-Piazza Mazzini characterized by its elongated shape it
is the commercial and social centre of Pescia. Many important
buildings dominate this square
-Località Pietrabuona Flowers alone were not solely
responsible for the economic development of this town,
the paper industry has also played an important part. At
4 km from Pescia, Pietrabuona houses the " Centro
di documentazione sulla lavorazione della carta" a
sort of centre archive for the paper industry where we
can see how paper has been produced over the centuries
Flower lovers can personally see flowers being sold wholesale
at the Flower trading centre, but you must be an early
bird! |
