Campi Bisenzio is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Florence in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 10 kilometres (6 mi) northwest of Florence.

History

The word Campi in the municipality's name stems from the fields which are widespread in the lands around the town. The current name of Campi Bisenzio was assumed only in 1862, with the addition of the name of the Bisenzio river that runs through the town.[3]

Campi Bisenzio is the place where the internal combustion engine was built for the first time by Felice Matteucci and father Eugenio Barsanti.

A number of Renaissance artworks from the church of Sant'Andrea a San Donnino are housed in its adjacent museum. The church of Santa Maria a Campi Bisenzio still maintains many of its original artworks.

Twin towns

gollark: Weird, desert is nearly empty.

gollark: It seems to have randomly become unsick anyway, so that's fine.

gollark: I have a sick 4d1h egg; it's really unlikely to die if it becomes a hatchling, right?

gollark: Right now I'm just trying to compile a "high trade value" group so I can manage the ones which are good for breeding more easily.

gollark: I really should have done groups earlier. I know I have a bunch of cool stuff like SAltkins somewhere, but they're not labelled and I have a thousand dragons to sort through at this point.
