history
The Bozzone gives its name to the district of Ponte a Bozzone (Castelnuovo Berardenga) and the Senese district of Pieve a Bozzone ( 215 m slm ), which, however, is not directly on the river. The eponymous Pieve (Pieve di San Giovanni Battista al Bozzone) was first mentioned in 1189 in a document by Pope Clement III. mentioned. The nearby stone bridge over the Bozzone was built in 1367, but today only exists as a ruin.
