Castello
di
Montegufoni
"Apartment
Il
Guardiano"
The
history...
Montegufoni
is
located
on the
old road
Volterrana,
which
was used
of Carl
Magno
and
other
empereors
in order
to catch
up to
Florence
or Rome.
Originally
the
castle
belonged
to the Ormanni,
a family
of which
Dante
spoke in
ist
Divine
Commedia.
In the
1135
fiorentini
they
sent a
punitive
shipment
in order
to
destroy
the
castle,
so that
it was
left in
a heap
of ruins
until
the year
1200,
when the
property
wa owned
by the
Acciaicoli.
Gugliareello
was the
first
owner.
Its
descendants
earned
through
the use
of the
new
banking
system
an
enormous
wealth
and
towards
the end
of XIII
century
the
Monteguofi
had
become a
castle
with a
series
of 7
constructions
encirceld
of a
wall.
The 7
ancient
villas
of the
ancestral
castle
of
Montegufoni
were
registered
as one
castle.
In 1310,
Nicholas
Acciaioli
– the
subsequent
Great
Siniscalco
of
Naples
and
beloved
friend
of the
Boccaccio
and the
Petrarch
– who
was born
here in
the
castle.
In 1348
when
King
Luigi of
Naples
was
removed
from his
reign
from the
King of
Hungary,
he was
sheltered
by the
first
minister
of
Monteguofi
and by
the
Bishop
Acciaioli.
In 1386
the
tower
and
other
rooms
were
constructed
by
Donated
Acciailoli.
1396
Donated
threatened
to
reform
Florence
and the
castle
was
hunted
and
defeated
by the
Republics,
but its
assets
(including
Montegufoni)
were
saves
from the
seizure
of his
brother
Cardinal.
The
three
sons of
Donated
did
reside
at the
court of
Antene
until on
e of
them,
Agnolo
di
Jacopo
returned
to
Montegufoni
with the
son (Duca
Francisco)
and its
cousins.
From
there he
had
probably
taken
the name
of “
Courtyard
of the
Duchi “.
Montegufoni
was the
centre
of
meetingas
of
fiorentini
artists.
In 1612
also
Cosimo
de`Doctors
was host
of the
castle.Until
1650
Donating
and Anna
Altoviti
Maria
restructed
the
castle
completely
to the
way we
see it
today,
joining
the 7
sepaerate
structures.
The
castle
continued
to of
being
the
social
centre
of the
florentina
life for
the XVII
and
XVIII
century,
until
the
decline
of the
Acciaioli
family
who sold
it and
erects
shacks.
Then in
1909,
Sir
George
Sitwell
fell in
love
with
magnificient
structure
of
Montegufoni
and
decided
to
acquire
it for
his son
Sir
Osbert
Sitwell.
From
then the
Sitwells
began to
enrich
and
embellish
the
castle.
Like the
room
with the
frescoes
from
Gino
Severini
in 1922.
With the
Sitwells
Montegufoni
did find
again
the past
splendor
and the
castle
became a
centre
of
english
writers
and
especially
american
artists.
In 1966
Sir
Osbert
moved
ino the
castle
where he
died in
1969. In
1972,
resbery
Sitwell
sold the
castle
to
Sergio
Posarelli,
and from
then it
became
important
all over
the
world,
to be
the
social
centre
of the
florentina
life.
