Impruneta Attractions 
A visitor who is driving through the hilly Chianti district south of Florence should make a stop in Impruneta. This little town, with its population of about 15,000, is famous for its ceramic and pottery studios as well as its chemical and engineering works.
Santa Maria dell'Impruneta
The 11th century basilica of Santa Maria dell'Impruneta is in the center of Impruneta. Walls and towers were built around the building when it was renovated in the 14th and 15th centuries. It was badly damaged in the Second World War.
Features worth seeing in the interior are two richly ornamented tabernacles by Michelozzo (1453-1456), resembling the church of Santissima Annunziata in Florence, the Cappella della Croce and the Cappella della Madonna, both containing work by Luca della Robbia.
The sculptural silver altar front is of exceptional quality.
