history

Etruscan tombs from the 10th to 8th centuries BC Are near Sticciano Scalo. The capital itself is first mentioned in writing around 966 as a property of the Aldobrandeschi . The second written documentation comes from Pope Clement III. of April 12, 1188, when he added the Pieve della Santissima Concezione to the territory of the Bishop of Grosseto. In a letter dated October 31, 1209, Otto IV counts them among the properties of the Abbazia San Galgano . In 1251, Count Ranieri Cappuciani, who was connected to the Aldobrandeschi, submitted himself and town to the Senese , who in 1273 expanded the fortress (Cassero) and the city fortifications. At the end of the 13th century, the place rebelled against the rulers from Siena, but was subjugated again in 1314. Sticciano finally reached Siena in 1328, when the Senese troops, led by Guidoriccio da Fogliano, took large parts of the Maremma region, including Sticciano and Montemassi . In 1438 the government in Siena downgraded the place as a fief due to a lack of inhabitants . The fief was passed in 1461 from Count Conte Bindo Sticciani to the family of Enea Silvio Piccolomini (Pope Pius II ). After the defeat of the Senese Republic against the Florentine in 1555, the place became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany .
