Henry VI. subordinated the place to the Bishop of Volterra in 1186 . Seven years later, the place went to the Republic of Pisa. In 1288 the place again submitted to the bishop of Volterra, Lapo di Rosso de 'Rossi , but in the same year the place was recaptured from Pisa under the command of Guido da Montefeltro . In 1325 the place revolted against Pisa and was shortly thereafter slammed back to Volterra by Charles IV . On March 6, 1406 the place was taken by the Republic of Florence together with its neighbor and today's district Rivalto.
