    Rich of history, the castle date back to tenth century. But is under the Acciaioli family that takes the actual form. Acciaioli family was bound to the castle for centuries, here they hosted kings and other notable men such as: the king of Naples, Cosimo II de' Medici. During the Second World War, to avoid being stolen or damaged, they were hidden in Montegufoni, come to many other places scattered throughout the Tuscan countryside, works of art such as the Adoration of the Magi, by Domenico Ghirlandaio, Primavera, by Sandro Botticelli and Giotto's Madonna di Ognissanti, thanks to the work of people like Giovanni Poggi, an officer of the Fine Arts and director of the Uffizi and Cesare Fasola, but also of simple citizens.
