Farm commissioned by Lorenzo de Medici in 1477; in addition to the agricultural activities, important reclamation works were activated and a refined hydraulic system was created which used the water of the Bisenzio to feed the mills and fulling mills located in the plain before reaching the Tenuta delle Cascine. Part farm, part fortress, it lies, at least so it seems, in total abandonment (https://fondoambiente.it/luoghi/fattoria-medicea-delle-cascine-di-tavola?ldc)

The Parco delle Cascine di Tavola is a beautiful park that extends over about 300 hectares, just a few minutes from the city center, taking its name from the neighborhood of the same name in which it is located. In the fifteenth century, the farmhouses were created on the initiative of Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici, better known as the Magnificent. At the time, the livestock breeding and the production of cheeses originating in this locality satisfied the demand of all of Florence. Today, the park offers several opportunities to enjoy the spaces: walking, running, on one of the many benches or relaxing on the grass. It is not uncommon to spot wild animals. The park, usually quiet, offers panoramas and colors that strike the eyes and cheer up the spirit.

The CD. "Barco Reale" dates back to 1626. It is a hunting reserve built at the behest of the Medici and surrounded by a wall of about 50 km: the aim was to safeguard the animals that lived in the area in order to have game available for hunting of the Grand Dukes.

Carmignano wine can be considered the progenitor of the so-called Super Tuscan wines (great Tuscan wines obtained by adding international vines such as Cabernet or Merlot to Sangiovese). Already in the seventeenth century for its production it was customary to add Cabernet to the "Sangioveto", a vine imported from France by the Medici (and still today called in the area Francesca grape, that is coming from France).
