history
The place was first mentioned by Ratchis , king of the Lombards and founder of the monastery of San Salvatore di Monte Amiata , in the middle of the eighth century as a corte (court). An earlier presence of the Etruscans in the place is considered likely, the presence of the Romans as certain. Written sources mention the Pieve di San Filippo Apostolo in the year 859, further mentions are made in 1014 and 1067. The place developed around the Pieve , which was assigned to the monastery of San Salvatore di Monte Amiata at the time. Then the place came under the rule of Orvieto , then in the 13th century to the Counts (Visconti) from Campiglia d'Orcia. Then the Republic of Siena took over, whose Pope Pius II visited the place in 1462. Lorenzo il Magnifico was a guest in 1485 when the area was still part of Siena. The Senese ruler Pandolfo Petrucci was there for treatment in 1500. After the defeat of Siena in the 16th century, the place became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany . The stays of Cosimo I de 'Medici from 1566 and Ferdinando II. De' Medici from 1635 are documented here. The place is mentioned literarily in the comedy Mandragola by Niccolò Machiavelli from 1518. The thermal facilities were built in 1816. Initially, the place was assigned to the municipality of Abbadia San Salvatore and in 1867 became part of Castiglione d'Orcia.
