Quarrata is the economic and administrative centre of a territory that is divided into two areas that are geographically distinct from one another: the first extends over the northern slopes of the Montalbano; the second, on flat ground coincides with the central part of the Valle dell'Ombrone of Pistoia. The territory of the Commune of Quarrata, inhabited by Ligurians until the II nd century BC was probably crossed through by an Etruscan roadway, an indication of which can be seen in the place-name of Cecina, a locality between the two hamlets of Caserana and Vignole
