Nowadays famous as an area for wild boar hunting and for its walking trails across its landscape, during the Middle Ages, Chianni was fought over by Volterra and Pisa, and then finally came under the dominion of Florence.
Every year in November, the town celebrates its wild boar hunting tradition with a fair where boar meat is stewed and served with classic condiments, polenta and olives.
Around Chianni are oak and chestnut woods, as well as olive groves that deliver a deep coloured, fruity oil, with below 1% acidity level.
