==History== Coiano was located on the border between the diocese of Volterra and the diocese of San Miniato, and on the demarcation line of the Republic of Pisa. In the early 990s, the Archbishop of Canterbury Sigeric passed through the village on his way to Rome; he stopped at the local Romanesque church, marking the 21st part of his journey towards the seat of Roman Catholicism. The route of Sigeric's journey became a Christian pilgrimage route known as the Via Francigena. Coiano's place on the route brought new economic opportunities, which resulted in the construction of a castle and a villa by the Florentine nobility.
