Radicofani's Looming Castle: A Tuscan Stone of Struggles from the Middle Ages

Nestled in the Italian commune of Radicofani, the strategic Rocca di Radicofani has launched countless whispers since the 10th century. First noted in 973, it was a Benedictine property under Monte Amiata's Abbey, until it was snatched by the Aldobrandeschi counts in 1081. This fortress has witnessed power plays between the Republic of Siena and Orvieto (under the watch of Florentines) and persistent papal meddling. Today, perched above the ancient town of Radicofani, the museum of the Cassero dwells within its mastio, presenting relics of the ancient nucleus's other remnants.
