Introduction to San Casciano In Val Di Pesa
San Casciano in Val di Pesa is an hill town located between Florence and Siena, in Tuscany region, in Italy, in the Chianti area.
It used to be called in the past “San Casciano a Decimo” (tenth), because of its position on the tenth milestone of the Roman road from Florence.
It became an important trading and political centre under Florentine rule, and in fact it was granted its first construction by the Florentine Bishops in 1241. It seems that Enrico VII, on his trip down the Italian peninsula, spent a few days in San Casciano.
In 1326 San Casciano was fired and destroyed by Castruccio Castracani and it was only later, 1343, that Gualtieri di Brienne, Duke of Athens and Lord of Florence, began to fortify it.
The Florentines considered San Casciano, like Empoli and many other Tuscan towns, to be a strategic point of defense and in facts, in 1335, they built a Cassero (castle) in San Casciano, and surrounded it with strong walls and towers.
After the donation by the Grand Duke Ferdinando II to Giovanni Santi Lucardesi, known as "The Indian", the cassero of San Casciano became a Benedictine convent. San Casciano houses several buildings of artistic importance: the Church of the Misericordia, previously Santa Maria del Prato, in Gothic-Tuscan style. Inside the Chapel of La Collegiata, in this Church, you can see, a XIV century baptismal font and a lunette with a Madonna and Saints and, at the third altar on the left, is an "Annunciation" in the style of Ridolfo Ghirlandaio.
