Traditions and sport
Scarperia is renowned for the production of ferri taglienti (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. The Mugello Circuit, home to the Grand Prix motorcycle racing, is located in the near surroundings of the town.
