Scarperia[1] is a frazione of the comune (municipality) of Scarperia e San Piero, located in the Metropolitan City of Florence, in Tuscany, Italy, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of Florence. It was an independent comune until 1 January 2014.
Scarperia is renowned for the production of ferri taglienti[3] (literally "cutting tools": knives, blades, razors, scissors), which is the main and most specialised craftsmanship in the area.
Every year, the village celebrates the anniversary of its founding, during the event called Diotto.[4]
The Mugello Circuit,[5] home to the Grand Prix motorcycle racing, is located in the near surroundings of the town.
