Area: History of Crespina: The name Crespina derives quite certainly from the latin ' in Acri spinario' : a area full of brumbles and bushes. The first document mentioning Crespina is dated 983, and talks about the taxes paid to the church by the population of the village. In the beginning the town was subjected to the Episcopal authority of Pisa, later it became a free municipality allied with Pisan Republic. During the 12th-14th century it was the scene of epic conflicts between the troops of Pisa and in 1434 Florence destroyed the castle completely. After a period of decline the area was populated by farmers, being in a good position between Florence and the new Medici's harbour of Livorno. Under Pietro Leopoldo (1765-1790) the grandduchy of Tuscany reached a certain autonomy: agriculture had become the chief activityand the grand duchy introduced several reforms. At the end of the XVIII century this area had become the place where the landowners built nice villas for thei summer holidays. Crespina in the XIX century: Crespina is well-known for its beautiful villas, summer dwellings for the rich landowners from Pisa and Livorno, who in the course of past centuries had chosen this area for its beauty and climate. During this century Crespina was apreciated also by the painters like Ranieri Tempesti and his brother or Adolfo, Angiolo and Lodovico Tommasi (they were the so called Macchiaioli). Adolfo painted the famous 'Villa di Belvedere' , 'Acquaiole a Crespina', 'Paese in Toscana' and 'La Fiera degli uccelli' showing the owl festival on September 29th. Also the writer Antony de Witt, and the painter Giorgio Kienerk have celebrate this green and bucolic area, so close to the sea. |
