The Museum of the New Lands of San Giovanni Valdarno, located in the charming Palazzo d'Arnolfo, tells the story of the founding of new settlements that took place across much of medieval Europe, with a special focus on Tuscany and the Florentine territory. From the late 13th century, numerous settlements emerged in this region, and the museum guides visitors through this fascinating historical phase. An unmissable experience for those eager to learn about the historical and cultural roots of Tuscany and its ancient urban centers.
With the advent of the year 1000, we witnessed a series of significant changes: population growth, the awakening of cities and the resumption of trade marked the beginning of a period of relative progress. Sovereigns, nobles, religious institutions and the Communes began to extend their control over the surrounding territories, giving rise to a deep restructuring of the geography of the settlements, context in which context the Terre Nuove was born.
The museum pays particular attention to this phenomenon, analyzing its development in Tuscany and the Florentine area, where, starting from the late 13th century, numerous new urban centers arose. Among these, San Giovanni Valdarno stands out, or rather Castel San Giovanni.
