This splendid testimony of Tuscan fortified agricultural suburb, with its tower, the considerable rests of its walls, a gate of the 13th century, its Roman Church of the 14th century endowed with a bell tower with mullioned windows, its civil medieval buildings leaned out on its narrow alleys, is situated on a hill dominant the Chiana Valley. Today it is one of the better preserved strengthened complex of the whole aretine territory. In its long history the most important event is perhaps that of the presence in 1304 between the walls of the castle of the great poet Dante Alighieri, White Guelph, who participated at the reunion between the Ghibellines escaped from Florence and the Aretinis. The agricultural period stopped immediately after the last conflict, with the end of the métayage, and this causing a general exodus from the country. The village remained nearly uninhabited and in downfall. Around the seventies years of this century a Tuscany Count undertook a work of conservative restoration with the purpose to maintain the genuine architectural values of the ancient medieval suburb. "Living inside the history" each totally renewed apartments, available in different typologies, maintain the atmosphere of an ancient past.
