At the foot of the Cornate mountains, like a miniature nativity scene, lies the charming village of Gerfalco, a perfect subject for photography and painting enthusiasts. Also a hub of mining exploration and controlled during the Middle Ages by the noble Pannochieschi family, it owes its name to the words ger-Falke, from the Medieval German, meaning "hawk-bearer." The road that encircles the village's perimeter suddenly seems lost in time. The church of San Biagio, consecrated in 1323, watches over the village. It was built with an adjoining convent, now a parish house and summer youth center.

The Torre del Candeliere is a museum monument that is an integral part of the Massa Marittima Museum System. The tower was erected in 1228 to both monitor the area (as a watchtower) and assert the authority of the Municipality of Massa Marittima, which had recently freed itself from the rule of the Prince-Bishop. The tower was originally a third taller than its current counterpart, the result of Siena's reconstruction following the war that brought it victory over Massa. Another Sienese initiative was the construction of the majestic arch connecting it to the Cassero, built in the center of the city to monitor the still-rebellious Massa Marittima residents, ready to rise up.

Massa Marittima is a municipality located in the southern area of the Colline Metallifere, an area that has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as documented by numerous archaeological finds. The settlement is thought to be of Etruscan origin, but the city's most important period began in the 9th century, when it became a bishop's seat. From then until the 14th century, the city reached its peak splendor, thanks in part to the area's abundant mineral resources.

In 1335, Massa Marittima lost its political autonomy, having to yield to the conquest of Siena, which had long been attempting to seize control of the Massa Marittima mines. A period of economic and demographic decline followed, further exacerbated by the plague of 1348. Despite the serious problems, however, mining activity was never completely abandoned, although it was certainly significantly reduced. The Medici family, who incorporated the province of Siena into the Grand Duchy in 1557, attempted some interventions to promote the area's recovery, while a significant revival occurred in 1737 with the arrival of the House of Lorraine as successors to the extinct Medici family.

After exhausting fighting in 1335, the city of Siena was forced to surrender, which severed the tower by a third of its height to demonstrate its dominion over the city. At the same time, the Sienese began the construction of a large arch that would connect the tower to the Cassero Senese in the center of the city, still in use today. In 1413 a large bell was placed on the tower, said to be three times the size of the current one, which the locals still call “Campanone”, despite being destroyed by lightning in the second half of the 18th century.
