-----
Empoli is known as a city of glass, just a few kilometers from Florence, the city of the Renaissance. Its history begins in the modern age, with the revolution in wine storage and transportation, which saw the switch from wooden or terracotta containers to glass bottles and carboys.
The widespread use of glass containers - more hygienic, lighter and easier to transport - was made possible by improved glass-melting techniques in the most important centers of Val d'Elsa: Montaione, Gambassi and Empoli were home to most of the master glassmakers' workshops, many of them highly sought-after by the court of the Grand Duke of Florence.
