    Conceived by Cosimo I de' Medici in the spring of 1554, on the borders of the Marche on one of the most inaccessible peaks of the Apennines, the fortress city of Sasso Simone was an expression of the ambitious policy of the grand dukes of Tuscany
    But the daring project soon failed: defeated by the hardships and terrible climatic conditions, the inhabitants fled after just 10 years.
    The structures began to deteriorate more and more, until, in 1674, the city was already totally ruined and its dismantling was ordered to recover reusable materials.
