The Historical Archive

The Historical Archives of the Municipality of Montelupo Fiorentino preserves a valuable patrimony of documents covering six centuries of history: all-embracing, rich in well-known memorable facts, interwoven with unknown episodes, or lost in the memory of Montelupo. Both the serious scholar or the curious citizen can have access to the town archives, searching for an answer to the most diverse questions about the most varied aspects of life in the Montelupo's community from the 16th century to today: administrative affairs, urban and architectural transformations, economic development, cultural activities, social relationships, demographic growth, and so on.

The files concern cultural institutions, religious congregations, hospitals, buildings, roads, squares, land, rivers, bridges, mills, real estate, political orders, municipal militias, rural proclamations, tolls, taxes, duties, theatres, and so on.
