Since its origins, the history of the castle has been closely linked to that of the largest feudal family in Casentino who placed Poppi at the center of its large properties and inhabited this manor for almost four hundred years: the Guidi counts.

Although the first written news of the existence of the castle dates back to 1191, its architecture and the fact that the Guidi family were already owners of vast possessions in Tuscany and Romagna at the time lead us to assume that its foundation was two or three years earlier. centuries, dating back to the period between the Lombard and Frankish invasions in these territories.

The arrival at the Castle of the Guidi Counts is immediately announced by a bronze statue depicting Dante Alighieri, which overlooks the Casentino valley and the Campaldino plain, where in 1289 Dante himself, among the ranks of the Florentine Guelphs, fought against the Arezzo Ghibellines.
