Overview

In the eastern outskirts of the residential area stands the Centre for Environmental Education of Legambiente, where the exhibition of Festambiente is held every month of August.
Main sights
- Church of Santa Maria Goretti, built in the early 1950s, it was designed by architect Carlo Boccianti, it was completed in 1953 and consecrated the following year. Between 1989 and 1993 the church has undergone a series of renovations, which have given it its present appearance.
- Fontana del Cinghialino (Fountain of the Little Boar), a fountain with the statue of a wild boar, a perfect reproduction of Porcellino by Pietro Tacca. The statue was donated to Rispescia by the city of Florence in 1953.
