The picturesque town of Scarperia is renowned for the artisanal production of knives. In addition to the shops selling the best knives and agricultural tools, the Palazzo dei Vicari houses the Museum of Cutting Irons. On the facade of the building you can see all the coats of arms of past governments. On 8 September the Palio di Diotto is held, a historical re-enactment attended by all the districts of the town. On the last Sunday of May the 'Infiorata' event takes place where the town is decorated entirely with flowers and flower paintings.
