The history of Sesto Fiorentino dates back to the Mesolitic era of 9,000 B.C., what makes it the oldest human settlement in this region. The first known people here were the Etruscans. They inhabited this area from the 7th century BC, but the town was created by the Romans. With the spread of Christianity in Tuscany in Sesto Fiorentino began to appear the first churches. In the early Middle Ages was built the most important church of the present town the Pieve of San Martino.

Now this brand company is still located in Sesto and is the largest porcelain manufacturer in Italy. In Sesto Fiorentino today there are over one hundred producers of pottery in. Here is also located a state school for teaching pottery called L'Istituto Statale d'Arte.
