Since 1914 Archaeological Museum conserves Etruscan, Roman and Lombard finds, telling the history of Fiesole. In front of the Museum there is Archaeological Area, with the Roman Theatre (that holds shows and viewers during the Summer), the Etruscan and Roman Temple and the Roman Baths. Everything is sorrounded by the calm of nature, even though it's very close to Florence.

I love to visit this small Roman theater and some even older Etruscan things. There is also a small museum beside it. It usually does not have many tourists around so you can enjoy the quiet.

If you're tired of the tourism of Florence, get on the red line bus here. There's a supermarket just beyond the square, a bit of fresh bread, meat and cheese and cold drink, sit in the shade and enjoy the quiet of this little town. Just 5 mins walk is a stunning viewpoint with no one around where you can see ALL of Florence and Tuscany stretching as far as the eye can see. You will be the only ones there and not a sound around! Then back to the square or a trip around the ruins.

Teaching farm and exciting enterprises and activities. Catch the chance to enjoy the nature, leaving a day en plain air, immersed in a real farm’s life! Walking through the designed paths, in the olive tree grove of the Fattoria di Maiano estate, you can visit and go next the animals of the farm: ducks, ostriches, goats, Amiata donkeys and limousine cows.
