The Vicciomaggio Castle
The Vicchiomaggio Castle can be traced to the 5th century when it was called Vicchio dei Longobardi, (village of the Longobards); in the Renaissance (1450 approx.) the name was changed to Vicchiomaggio, the village of May (maggio). From its hill top Vicchiomaggio dominates the Greve valley and was the first defence for Florence during its feuds with Siena.
The Castle is also found in the archives of Leonardo da Vinci who was a guest of the estate when he painted the Mona Lisa. The famous academic Francesco Redi, prepared his
renowned "Bacco in Toscana", (published in 1685) at Vicchiomaggio.
