Montaione

Montaione is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Florence in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 35 kilometres (22 mi) southwest of Florence. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").

The frazione of Filicaja was the starting point of Antonio da Filicaja for the invasion of Pisa by the Florentine army in 1509.

The Italian Horse Protection Association (IHP) has its main base in Montaione's frazione of Filicaja.

In 2024, a small marble statue of Hercules, nicknamed "Ercolino da Montaione" and dating to the 3rd–4th centuries AD, was discovered on a nearby hill at the site of an ancient Roman residence.
