|  | Villa Farnia belongs to Fauglia, a medieval village on the Colline Pisane, the hills of Pisa, with roads that wind between rolling hills in a charming landscape. The area offers a great choice of places to eat out, from the simple pizzeria to first class restaurants. The local wine production has been appreciated ever since the Etruscan period. Another important product of the region is olive oil. Olive-growing has a very old tradition in the province of Pisa. There are several types of olive trees, and consequently of oil, with differences in harvesting times and methods as well as in olive preservation. Further differences are due to such factors as microclimates and soil composition. Another speciality are truffles. Unlike the black truffle, which is well adapted to clay soils, the white truffle grows in wet vegetation at a distance from trees such as poplars, limes, oaks and willows, in calcareous soils poor in organic substances, a characteristic of Tuscan terrain.
Typical products of the region are also alabaster, ceramics, leather goods and furniture. | |
