Appartamento - Vicopisano (PI)

This is the lower Arno plain between Pisa and Pontedera, with flat agricultural land, drainage channels and scattered settlements. The Arno runs just north of Cascina. Pisa is the nearest city of size, with the Leaning Tower, the Piazza del Duomo UNESCO site, a university and the main services of the area. The Monti Pisani rise north of the plain but are outside the immediate surroundings. The area is known for agriculture and for being part of the settled corridor along the Arno valley.
