Article History

Cascina, town, Toscana (Tuscany) regione, central Italy. Local mineral springs are used to treat rheumatism. The town’s Church of Santa Maria, built in Pisan style, dates from the 12th century. Cascina was a historic battleground in the Pisans’ resistance against the Florentines, who sacked the town in 1364; remnants of its ancient ramparts are preserved. Furniture manufacture is an economically important industry, and there is a cabinetmaking school in the town. Pop. (2006 est.) mun., 40,743.
