Tips

Sterro Appalla - BBP GRAVEL FIRENZE

May 16, 2021

Castle villa built on the ruins of a previous feudal tower by Michelozzo Michelozzi commissioned by Cosimo de 'Medici.

Imposing construction, it stands at 500 meters above sea level, on a hill overlooking the entire Mugello and where in the past important communication routes crossed.

Consisting of a massive quadrangular body equipped with protruding devices, it is surmounted by a high crenellated tower with a shoe base. Surrounded today by tall and monumental cypresses, the Trebbio Castle still maintains an Italian garden on the west side and large garden terraces to the south with a beautiful pergola on cylindrical pillars in exposed brick (17th century).

A place loved by Lorenzo the Magnificent especially for hunting days, it was inhabited for a long time by the famous captain of fortune Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, his wife Maria Salviati and his son Cosimo I, future Grand Duke of Tuscany. In 1476 it hosted Amerigo Vespucci very young fleeing from Florence where the plague was raging. Trebbio was a Medici property until Ferdinando II sold it for 113,500 scudi in 1644 to Giuliano Serragli.

beautiful Castle closed to the public but still with very nice surrounding roads to cycle on, even the climb that arrives here from San Piero a Sieve is lively
