PONTEDERA PISA

shadow Pontedera Pisa


The name is linked to the Pontedera Piaggio since 1924, when the engineer from Genoa Rinaldo Piaggio I moved part of its aerospace industry, which after the Second World War was converted into a factory of motorcycles participating in the economic boom of the Sixties and changing the face of the city.

Pontedera is now the Museum of the Piaggio Foundation "Giovanni Alberto Agnelli", which exposes the many models produced by over a vast historical archive. In an old hangar houses the Polo Sant'Anna Era, center of excellence in robotics and information technology.

Pontedera has recently become a center of contemporary art thanks to the Otello Cirri Exhibition Centre, the spaces of the Municipal Library, and the permanent sculptures arranged in the parks and squares of the city (see the benches copyright in Piazza Garibaldi) or at the center of roundabouts. In this open-air museum is the original signal the Wall Baj, Oleandra by Carmassi, the Bull of Cascella, the Vespa Trafeli, the Young woman by Vangi and works by Canuti.

Even the theatrical activity is a strong point of the city: the new Theatre was home to the Pontedera Theatre Foundation, also known abroad for his avant-garde productions. There are many cultural events, theater and music during the year, both in town and in the neighboring villages of Treggiaia and Montecastello.

For its junction position between Valdera, Valdarno, Valdinievole Pontedera and plain of Lucca has always been a very lively shopping center. Even today, in the month of October, we celebrate the Feast of Saint Luke, the sample of the Era and the Valdarno whose first edition dates back to 1471.

The rich commercial offer of the shops in the center is enriched by a weekly market every Friday of the largest in Tuscany. To celebrate the commercial vocation of the city every summer the council organizes a series of evenings dedicated to shopping by starlight, which culminate in the Feast of Commerce and White Night.
