around twenty kilometers south from Florence, gifted of a mighty angular
tower (lowered in last century) and of a mighty central keep. The whole
low part of the construction is provided of bastioned walls and on top
still remains part of the battlements . Numerous openings, fruit of
the conversion into manor house first and farm then, breaks the thick
wall curtains. Recently restored, the small fortress entertains an
agrituristic estate and it is not visitable. Is well visible driving
