Colle di Compito (also Colle di Cómpito ) is a district ( fraction , Italian frazione ) of Capannori in the province of Lucca , Tuscany region in Italy .

geography

The place is about 7 km south of the capital Capannori, about 10 km southeast of the provincial capital Lucca and about 55 km west of the regional capital Florence . The place is located on a foothill north of the Monti Pisani not far from the southeastern lake Lago di Bientina ( Lago di Sesto , municipality of Bientina ) and the Piana Lucchese plain .

history

The place originated from several smaller places (Borghi). Then the Castrum Novum castle was built in the Località Lecci above the current town center, which is called Borghetto . Another fortified complex was built from the Borghetto, with pieces of wall and a city gate still in place. At that time, the place belonged as a fief to the Lambercioni family from Vorno (today also part of Capannori), who were close to the Republic of Pisa . In the conflict between Lucca and Pisa, the place was captured and destroyed by Lucca in 1148. After the reconstruction by the Lambercioni, the place belonged to the sphere of influence of Lucca and was attacked and destroyed in 1313 by the Uguccione della Faggiola, who was paid for by Pisa . Colle di Compito was last damaged in 1544 by Pisans and Florentine troops. After that, the place remained under the influence of Lucca.
