(20,96 square km with 3098 inhabitants: Canepinesi)
The origin of the name Canepina seems to be linked to the old processing of hemp, that in the past was a source of wealth for the inhabitants of the village.
Some historical documents testify with certainty that the name Canepina appeared for the first time in 1093. The village has Etruscan origins and as
proof of this there are many finds .The mediaeval hamlet belonged, as many other villages of the Etruria, to the powerful family of the Prefects Di Vico
that built there a castle in the year 1000. Later it came into the Churchs possession and Pope Paul III (Alessandro Farnese) gave it as a present to his son
Pier Luigi.
