history

The place, also called Castiglion dei Ladri (Castrum Latronum, Castle of Thieves) or Castiglion Senese , was built as a castle of the Manenti . The Counts of Manenti gave the place in 1117 and 1126 to the Camaldolese monastery of San Pietro in Campo (today the municipality of Pienza , approx. 4 km southwest), which belongs to the Camaldolese monastery (Eremo del Vivo, also called Eremo di San Benedetto , 15 km southwest) in Vivo d'Orcia . The monks of San Pietro in Campo came under the protection of the Republic of Siena as early as 1226. The monks of San Pietro in Campo and those of Vivo d'Orcia also submitted to the Republic of Siena in 1251, together with the representative of the castle of Castiglioncello del Trinoro, which then guaranteed ten years of tax exemption. In the conflict between Siena and the cities of Florence and Orvieto , Siena lost the place in 1254, but was able to take over the place again after the Battle of Montaperti in 1260. The Republic of Siena sold the place to the Salimbeni family in 1274 for 8000 Lire di dinari senesi . The inhabitants of the place took their oath on March 10, 1275 to Notto del fu Salimbene and his brothers Alessandro, Benuccio, Ciampolo and Giovanni. At that time the place had about 600 inhabitants. In the property registers of the Salimbeni the place is given in 1318 with a value of 13,333 lire. In the middle of the 14th century the place was occupied by Perugia and conquered again by Cione di Sandro Salimbeni in 1368. The Salimbeni remained masters of the castle until 1418, when they had to surrender the place to Siena according to the treaties of February 22, 1418 as defeated in the conflict with the Republic of Siena. The place stayed with Siena until the defeat of the Republic of Siena against Florence in 1555 and then became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany . Ferdinando II. De 'Medici declared the place a fief in 1646 and gave it to the new Margrave Roberto Cennini. In 1786 Castiglioncello del Trinoro became part of Sarteano.
