About Buti
Buti is a small town on the eastern slopes of Monte Pisano, beside the Rio Magno among pine and chestnut forest, at around 85 m. The centre has the Medici Villa, Castel Tonini, a Romanesque church of San Francesco and the horseshoe-shaped Francesco di Bartolo Theatre, built in 1842. Homes spread over a couple of kilometres of hillside, mostly sleeping about six, with a pool, a garden and a fireplace common. Olive oil and chestnuts were the traditional work, and basket-making followed in the 1800s. Forest tracks above the town suit walking and cycling, and there is no beach.
