If the imagination of a child could come up with
the idea of an ancient medieval castle, it would
probably be something similar to the small fortification
that stands in the Chianti hills close to Florence, set
between San Casciano and Greve. The drawbridge is
missing, and there are no knights in their heavy armour,
but the rest corresponds perfectly. There are the four
beautiful, angular towers, with their perfectly balanced
proportions, stressed
by a rhythm
of flat-topped merlons, and an evocative atmosphere. The paradigm of the Middle
Ages, not at all sinister and dark but alert and proud.
