San Genesio archaeological area, Archaeological site in San Miniato, Italy.
The archaeological area of San Genesio contains foundations, structures, and a cemetery that reveal evidence of ancient settlements along important trade routes.
The site hosted the Imperial Diet called by Emperor Henry III in 1055 and later became the location where Tuscan cities formed their alliance in 1197.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered remains from different periods, including Etruscan settlements and an 11th-century parish church that shaped local development.
The museum adjacent to the archaeological site displays numerous artifacts from the Etruscan necropolis of Fonte Vivo, dating from the 4th to 1st centuries BCE.
The location transformed from an Etruscan necropolis into a residential area called vicus Wallari in the 8th century before its destruction in 1248.
