Santa Maria a Monte is a comune in the Province of Pisa in the Italian region of Tuscany. The town lies about 45 kilometres west of Florence and about 25 kilometres east of Pisa.
Famous for its military strategic importance , Santa Maria a Monte has always been disputed between several Tuscan cities. As a matter of fact, Santa Maria a Monte passed from the influence of Lucca under the influence of Florence and, in the end, it became part of the Pisa territory.
A famous landmark is Casa Carducci, where the Italian poet Giosuè Carducci is said to have spent his childhood.
