Vinci, Historic municipality in Tuscany, Italy.

Located on the slopes of Montalbano, Vinci showcases an almond-shaped historic center with terraced vineyards and olive groves supported by stone walls.

In September 1943, following the Cassibile Armistice, German forces occupied Vinci until British troops liberated the town on September 2, 1944.

The Museo Leonardiano attracts 130,000 visitors annually, displaying models and collections related to Leonardo da Vinci's scientific and technological achievements.

The municipality operates two sports facilities, with the main modern stadium situated in Petroio near Sovigliana and an older one in Ripalta.

Every July, the traditional Tenzon di Palla event features two districts competing in a historical football match during the town fair.
