Map

Marsilio Ficino square in Figline Valdarno, a trading post since its origins, is to this day the location of the market taking place here every Tuesday morning. The square, named after Marsilio Ficino, the famous humanist who was born right in Figline in 1433, hosts in addition to the market the main events that are programmed in Figline and Incisa Valdarno, from the Palio di San Rocco to Autumnia and many others. The town owes its name to the Latin word figulinae, used by the ancient Romans to refer to the presence of kilns for terracotta, ceramics and bricks, whose Etruscan origin is attested by some archaeological finds in the area.
