In the town of Lamporecchio set near the nature complex of Montalbano culture and nature are melted together. The walks in Montalbano can be joined by the visits to different monuments, among which the Abbey of San Baronto, dating to the VII century, and the neo-Classical church of Santo Stefano.
The territory of the modern town included between Montalbano and the morass of Fucecchio has been inhabited since the Roman times. In the Early Middle Ages it linked its name to the passage of San Baronto and to the growth of monasticism. Just after the year 1000, it was mentioned as the feud of the bishopric of Pisa. Until the half of the XIII century, the curia of Pistoia controlled it as numerous imperial concessions issued by Frederick I (1155), Henry VI (1196) and Otto IV (1209) show.
Since 1244, the town of Pistoia obtained the jurisdiction of Camporecchio. Years of fights and violent disputes between Lucca, Pistoia and Florence to rule the town followed. Pistoia definitively annexed all the lands of the town in 1531, a few years before the birth of the Tuscan Grand Duchy. The town, yet, had to wait many years before it could obtain its much-yearned autonomy.
In 1774, at the time of the big territorial rearrangement settled by the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo of Lorraine, Lamporecchio was included in the “comunitas” and town hall of Serravalle, from where it detached together with Larciano in 1810. Its definitive territorial layout was established in 1897, when the events that caused the unity of Italy had already taken place. In that year, Larciano became autonomous.
