In the Middle Ages, its history was tied to the Cattani Counts and, in 1214, to the meeting between Count Orlando and Saint Francis, which led to the founding of the La Verna Sanctuary.
In the following centuries, it remained a vital crossroads of life and passage. In the 15th century, under the Florentine Republic, the village’s history crossed paths with Michelangelo Buonarroti, who was baptized in the Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta, where the original baptismal font is still preserved today.
Images from the early 1900s depict a village made of labor, relationships, and the seasons. Today, that same spirit lives on: the houses, fields, and spaces of the hamlet remain inhabited and shared, in perfect balance between memory and the present day.
