Bientina (Italian: [ˈbjɛntina]) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Pisa in the Italian region Tuscany.

History

The toponym Bientina is attested the first time in 793 as Blentina and probably comes from the Etruscan name Plitine.

Geography

Location of the municipality (Comune) of Bientina (province of Pisa)

Territory

Bientina is located between Lucca's plain (Piana di Lucca) and the Valdarno.

To the north of the town there was once the largest lake in Tuscany, the Lago di Bientina, until it was drained in 1859 and converted to farmland.

The municipality is formed by the municipal seat of Bientina and the villages (frazioni) of Caccialupi, Puntone, Quattro Strade and Santa Colomba.
