Monteroni d'Arbia is in Via Francigena, the road to Rome. It held a strong
central position in Europe in 1100. An agriculturalproduction centre of the
ancient Republic of Siena, it preserves the sign of its most important monument
in the imposing medieval fortified mill from the beginning of the fourteenth
century, of which the original structure is nearly intact, with its brick keep
and mill-pond. The splendid massive structure of Cuna farm rises on the road
from Siena, a beautiful example of a medieval fortified grain tower (13th
century), originally belonging to the Hospital of Santa Maria della Scala which
used it as a massive container for grain.
The pleasant mixture of old and new make it distinctive, a pleasing contrast
which gives a touch of charm to this small town in the heart of Valdarbia.
The area is full of rich suprises. The churches, the towers and mansions, the
villas and castles, for example the one at San Fabiano, give an idea of its
variety and richness. The hilly scenery is splendid; scattered trees and
solitary farm-houses, vast expanses of fields cultivated with cereals and white
roads which wind their way in the surrounding countryside.
