Terricciola<\/strong> has an Etruscan origin. During the Middle Ages, Pisa and Florence disputed it, as they did with many other fortified villages in the countryside. It is no coincidence that the emblem of Terricciola features the Pisa cross on one half and the Florence lily on the other.<\/em><\/p>\n

Etruscan findings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first official mention of Terricciola dates back to 1109, when \u201cPieve a Pava\u201d (today Pieve de Pitti<\/a>) was mentioned.<\/p>\n

The numerous findings of Etruscan urns and the hypogeous room tombs dating back to the 3rd century BC testify the presence of a small aristocratic rural class, not wealthy but living on the lands it owned, producing and trading in olive oil and wine, thanks to the sandy composition of the soil, which is rich in fossil deposits.<\/p>\n

“Citt\u00e0 del Vino”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Indeed, the name \u2018Terricciola\u2019 recalls the Italian word \u2018terreno\u2019, (land). The soil is suitable for the production of quality wines, attracting wine growers from Italy and around the world. Terricciola is a member of the Associazione Nazionale Citt\u00e0 del Vino, the National Wine Town Association and is the seat of the Colline Pisane Wine Trail, including farms and wineries also producing the DOC Terre di Pisa.<\/p>\n

The main artistic and cultural attractions are the 11th-century Camaldolese Abbey of Morrona, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Monterosso<\/a> and Villa Gherardi del Testa<\/a>, significant above all for the works in the adjoining family chapel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17046,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3350","territorio","type-territorio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":925,"post_title":"Terricciola","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/terricciola\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/territorio\/3350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/territorio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/territorio"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
