history

The place was first mentioned in 780 in connection with the Abbazia di San Savino (Badia di San Savino) in Cascina near Pisa as Cerreto in Greti . From 1079 the place was under the Guidi . On August 23, 1273 Guido Salvatico sold the place to Florence. The place was attacked several times at the beginning of the 14th century and taken into his possession, including in 1326 by Castruccio Castracani , in 1332 by John of Bohemia and in 1336 by Mastino II della Scala . In 1333 the place was destroyed by a flood. The city walls were renewed by Florence in 1336 to protect the city from further attacks. These city walls had four entrance gates, of which only the Porta della Croce di Pilato (also called Porta Pelagio ) remains today. The other city gates ( Porta Fiorentina , destroyed in 1648; Porta a Vatignano and Porta Padulana , destroyed in 1830) no longer exist.
