In 1200, La Novella was an old post station, where horses were exchanged to brave the climb to the fortress of Radicofani, famous for having been conquered by the highwayman, Ghino di Tacco.
Proof of this is the suggestive gallery where the carriages once found shelter during their stop. Next to the post office, now converted into a 9-bedroom mansion, there is what was once the "inn", where travelers and pilgrims found refreshment.
