history

The origins of the castle (castello) is unknown. It belonged to the Counts Spadalonga e Adilasia in 1121 and came under the rule of Siena in 1208. In 1254, 1260 (after the battle of Montaperti ) and 1266 the place was attacked by Florence , as the place was considered an ally of the Ghibellines from Siena in the conflict between Ghibellines and Guelphs . In 1260 the counts Berardenghi from Asciano are mentioned as rulers of the place, who ruled the place until the 14th century and then had to give it up to Siena. In the second half of the 14th century the notary Ser Cristofano di Gano di Guidino was governor ( vicario ) in Armaiolo for the city (republic) of Siena several times . His friendship with Catherine of Siena and the visit of Santa Caterina were probably eponymous for the third part of Fontebranda in Armaiolo, since the saint from Siena came from the area of ​​Fontebranda in Siena. On May 30, 1554, the place was attacked in the run-up to the Battle of Scannagallo ( Battaglia di Scannagallo , also Battaglia di Marciano , August 2, 1554). After the place refused to surrender, it was forcibly taken by the troops of the Fiorentine Allies, all male residents were killed and the place was set on fire. The place was independent until 1777 and then came with Campigliola , Castiglion Baroti and Laticastelli as a district to Rapolano Terme.
