| Description |
Italiano: la Torre del Castellano, che ha ospitato durante la seconda guerra mondiale le statue degli Uffizi per proteggerle dal conflitto.
Bellissima costruzione cresciuta intorno ad una torre longobarda di avvistamento, trasformata nel X secolo dai Conti Guidi in presidio, che ospitava una guarnigione per il controllo delle importanti vie di comunicazione che collegavano Firenze ad Arezzo e Roma, nei secoli XII-XIV ebbe un ruolo rilevante nelle lotte di potere dell'epoca e spesso vi si rifugiarono esuli fiorentini di entrambe le parti durante le lotte tra Guelfi e Ghibellini. Dal XIV secolo, perduta la funzione militare, fu trasformata in una abitazione signorile dai Conti Castellani da cui prese poi il nome. Nel 1751 i Conti Castellani furono annoverati fra i patrizi fiorentini e la Torre fu gradualmente trasformata in una villa. Passò poi attraverso diversi proprietari subendo un progressivo declino fino a quando, nel 1938, iniziò un’importante opera di restauro a cura degli attuali proprietari, su progetto e sotto la supervisione della Sovraintendenza ai Monumenti della Provincia di Firenze, che l'ha riportata all'antico splendore. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale nel castello furono ricoverate le statue degli Uffizi per difenderle dal conflitto.English: the Castellano Tower, which hosted the statues of the Uffizi during World War II to protect them from conflict.
Beautiful construction grown around a longobard watch tower, transformed in the 10th century by the Guidi accounts into a garrison, which housed a garrison for the control of the important communication routes that connected Florence to Arezzo and Rome, in the 12th-XIV centuries played a major role in the power struggles of the time and Florentine exiles from both sides often took refuge there during the struggles between Guelphs and Ghibellini. From the 14th century, lost the military function, it was transformed into a stately home by the Castellani Counts from which it took its name. In 1751 the Castellani counts were counted among the Florentine patricians and the Tower was gradually transformed into a villa. He then passed through several owners undergoing a progressive decline until, in 1938, began an important restoration work by the current owners, on project and under the supervision of the Superintendence of Monuments of the Province of Florence , which brought it back to its former glory. During World War II, statues of the Uffizi were housed in the castle to defend them from the conflict. |
