Some weeks ago, a National Geographic troupe arrived at the Montegufoni Castle to investigate on the story behind the important Renaissance masterpieces that where hidden here during the Second World War. A whole episode, the third of the "Nazi World War Weird" show, was dedicated to our wonderful castle and it will be soon broadcasted in worldwide National Geographic Channels.
"As the chaos of World War II engulfs Italy, a British officer makes a shocking find; a 900 year old castle near the front line still holds a collection of priceless works by some of Italy's greatest Renaissance masters. But who put the masterpieces there and how did they survive the battle raging less than 2500 yards away?"
