The charming countryside of the province of Prato hosts two of the most beautiful villas of the Medici Family: Villa di Poggio in Caiano, which was commissioned by Lorenzo the Magnificent and realized by Giuliano da Sangallo, and Villa di Artiminio, which was designed by Buontalenti in the late sixteenth century.
