Tips
San Miniato, city of good cuisine and white truffles, looks from a hill over the plain through which the Arno flows. The monumental palaces prove its grandeur, but all its charm lies in two esplanades formed by the unexpected Prato del Duomo and the square in front of the castle of Emperor Frederick II. The name San Miniato was previously followed by 'al Tedesco' (from the German.), because the city was the Tuscan residence of the German emperors from the 10th century.
