Sesto Fiorentino, known locally as just Sesto, is a commune in the Metropolitan City of Florence, Tuscany, central Italy. The oldest known human settlement in the area dates from the Mesolithic. The Etruscan presence is known from the 7th century BC, but the town proper was created by the Romans as Sextus ab urbe lapis. The first churches were built in the early Middle Ages, among which the most important became the Pieve of San Martino. Sesto Fiorentino was subject to the Archbishop of Florence. Later it was under the Florentine Republic, which dried the plain and boosted the area's economy starting from the Renaissance age.
