The municipal territory of Buti extends for 23,08 square kilometres in
the valley which is formed on the eastern side of Monte Pisano, It
was constituted in municipality in 1867 with the detachment of the
districts of Buti and Cascine from the territory of Vicopisano.
The historical events of Buti are noted partly from the XI century when
it was under the dominion of the Bishops of Pisa. It passed in the following
century under the jurisdiction of the Pisana republic, was conquered by
the rival Lucchesi on two occasions, in 1287 and 1289 and lastly, retaken
by the Pisani in 1312 with the help of Emperor Arrigo VII. From the
start of the XV century it became part of the Fiorentino dominion
and followed its fate.
