A town of about 13,300 inhabitants in the province of Pisa, Santa Maria a Monte has always been a village much contested between the various Tuscan cities, from Florence to Lucca, until it became Pisan territory. Galileo Galilei also resided here for a short period of his life and in the town of Santa Maria a Monte is also located the Tavolaia Astronomical Observatory, active since 1999.
