'''Maiano''' is small hilltop locality, now part of [Fiesole](/source/Fiesole), in [Tuscany](/source/Tuscany).

The [Chiesa di San Martino](/source/Chiesa_di_San_Martino_a_Maiano) was founded there in the eleventh century and subsequently restored in the fifteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. A ''[palagio](/source/Palace)'' existed at Maiano in the [Middle Ages](/source/Middle_Ages), but in 1467 it was destroyed in a storm. It was rebuilt as the [Villa di Maiano](/source/Villa_di_Maiano) which today still dominates the Fattoria di Maiano [estate](/source/Estate_(house)). In the thirteenth century the poet [Dante da Maiano](/source/Dante_da_Maiano) was born there, though he was active in [Florence](/source/Florence). The family of [Renaissance](/source/Renaissance) sculptors [Giuliano da Maiano](/source/Giuliano_da_Maiano), [Benedetto](/source/Benedetto_da_Maiano), and [Giovanni da Maiano](/source/Giovanni_da_Maiano) moved from Maiano to Florence in the fourteenth century.
