The structures of the Fattoria Autonoma Babacchi were built towards the end of the 1950s and were mainly used for drying the tropical tobacco produced in the Città del Castello area. Decommissioned at the beginning of the Seventies, they were assigned to Alberto Burri shortly afterwards to be used as a laboratory for the creation of large-format works. Over the years, other spaces were recovered and in 1990 the Burri Museum was inaugurated in its current structure.

Città di Castello has had many names during its existence. It was founded by the Umbrian tribe and then subjugated by the Romans who called it Tifernum Tiberinum. During the Middle Ages it was conquered by the Lombards and they changed its name to Castrum Felicitatis, the camp of happiness. In the 12th century the city was organized as a municipality and shortly afterwards took the name of Civitas Castelli which then became the current Città di Castello. Don't miss the main square with the town hall and the cathedral with its characteristic cylindrical bell tower. Città di Castello is also the birthplace of the artist Alberto Burri to whom a museum has been dedicated in the building of a former tobacconist.
