L'insediamento rurale romano di Molino San Vincenzo a Montespertoli

The Molino San Vincenzo site is a rural settlement in northern Tuscany, about 20 km east of Empoli, in the municipality of Montespertoli. The Val di Pesa is an agricultural region near the Pesa River, a tributary of the Arno. Since ancient times, the production of glass and ceramics has been a productive industry because of the presence of raw materials, such as quartz sand and clay, in the alluvial areas of the Pesa and Arno rivers. The findings corroborate the thesis already postulated by the architectural structures that Molino San Vincenzo was a rural production site characterized by a distinct architecture and rich agricultural and wine production.
