history
The area of today's Montenero d'Orcia belonged from 903 to the monastery of San Salvatore di Monte Amiata . The castle (Castello, today Cassero) was first mentioned in 1015 and belonged in equal parts to the monastery of San Salvatore di Monte Amiata and the Aldobrandeschi . In the 13th century, the place was under the Visconti di Campiglia from Campiglia d'Orcia , who often came into conflict with the monastery of San Salvadore di Monte Amiata because of unpaid taxes. From 1375 the Salimbeni from Siena ruled the place, from 1400 Montenero d'Orica was directly under the government in Siena. After the defeat of the Republic of Siena in 1555 against Florence and four more years of resistance under the government of Siena in exile from Montalcino ( Repubblica di Siena riparata in Montalcino ), the site added on 2 September 1559 after peace of Cateau-Cambrésis in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany . After that, the place first belonged to Cinigiano and later became a district of Castel del Piano. Several sources point to Montenero d'Orcia as the birthplace of Pietro Andrea Mattioli , who is also mentioned as being born in Siena.
