Tourist and Historical Information The suggestive rural village of Fiano, anciently named Alfiano because it was owned by the noble Florentine family of the Alfani, rises on a beautiful hilly ridge that serves as a natural watershed between the Valdelsa and Val di Pesa valleys. Certaldo is famous worldwide as the birthplace of Giovanni Boccaccio, one of the fathers of Italian literature and author of the Decameron, whose house-museum can be visited in the magnificent medieval historic center of Certaldo Alto, known as the Castle, entirely enclosed by intact red brick walls. The surrounding hilly territory is famous for the production of Chianti dei Colli Fiorentini wine and high-quality extra virgin olive oil, as well as for hosting historical monuments such as the Romanesque parish church of San Lazzaro in Lucardo and the castle of Lucardo, historically linked to the celebrated Pitti family.
