The ancient castle of the Turicchi Counts, which was the noble title of the bishops of Florence. It was their summer residence. Having ownership and jurisdiction over the surrounding countryside, including Rufina, they had the right of pre-emption of a portion of the wine produced in the fiefdom. This feudal right later gave rise to the Festa del Carro (Cart Festival), which takes place both in Rufina and in Florence. The cart, filled with five thousand flasks of Rufina Chianti DOCG wine, is paraded once a year, pulled by oxen, to Piazza della Signoria, where it is donated to the competent authorities.

Rich in coats of arms that the various Vicars have managed the Borgo

The picturesque town of Scarperia is renowned for the artisanal production of knives. In addition to the shops selling the best knives and agricultural tools, the Palazzo dei Vicari houses the Museum of Cutting Irons. On the facade of the building you can see all the coats of arms of past governments. On 8 September the Palio di Diotto is held, a historical re-enactment attended by all the districts of the town. On the last Sunday of May the 'Infiorata' event takes place where the town is decorated entirely with flowers and flower paintings.

The Palazzo dei Vicari di Scarperia, built during the fourteenth century, was the seat of the vicar of the Florentine Republic since 1415, a vicar who worked here with political duties and above all with the management of the Mugello and surrounding area. The charge of the vicar lasted only 6 months at the terms of which they had to leave the signature of their passage: this is why the numerous coats of arms on the façade. Inside, the noble rooms house important frescoes such as the Madonna del Ghirlandaio from 1501 and Filippo Brunelleschi's clock from 1445. There is also the Museo dei Ferri Taglienti, linked to the still active local artisan production, and the historical archive Pre-unification with more than 4500 documents from the time of the vicar.
