From 1587 to 1590, Ferdinando I had the nearby Ambrogiana villa completely renovated, and the Tower became a sort of gateway to the estate. Inside, the Tower houses the Museum of the Tuscan Flask.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"Standard\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">Email: <a href=\"mailto:info@museodelfiasco.it\">info@museodelfiasco.it<\/a><br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.museodelfiasco.it\">www.museodelfiasco.it<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;216445&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;837398&#8243;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;237849&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;800&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-121623&#8243; heading_semantic=&#8221;h4&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;152080&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]Visit Montelupo[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading text_weight=&#8221;400&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;581490&#8243;]Check out our itineraries to discover the city and the history of ceramics[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;144976&#8243;]Discover the heart of Tuscan ceramics among museums, workshops, public art, and authentic views.
