Prato is a city in Tuscany, Italy, the capital of the
Province of Prato.
Historically, the economy of Prato has been based upon the textile industry. Prato is also a centre of the slow food movement, with many other local specialities, including cantucci, a type of biscotti, sold by local speciality bakers.
Taking its name from the meadow (prato) where a great market was held in antiquity, PRATO – capital of its own little province 15km northwest of Florence – has been Italy's chief textile city since the early Middle Ages. Even though recent recession has cut into export sales, it still produces three-quarters of all Italy's woollen cloth. Its proximity to Florence (just half-an-hour away) makes it feasible as a cut-price alternative base.
