The well-known Sienese family settled in Italy after the arrival of Charlemagne. In the Tuscan city, the Tolomei were able to take advantage of the process of change and became a powerful family of bankers, owners of towers and castles in the areas between the Montagnola Senese and the Maremma. To this family belonged the Pia dei Tolomei, quoted by Dante in the 5th canto of the Purgatorio (Purgatory), who tells of her death at the hands of her husband, who threw the woman from a window of his castle in the Maremma.
