The discovery of Etruscan and Roman tombs and remains is proof of the ancient origins of Castellina in Chianti. The first written documents go back to the XI century. Florence and Siena fought over the Chianti area from the beginning of the XII century and the Florentine Republic conquered much of this region in 1176. Like many many other places in the Chianti, at the end of the XII century, it fell under Florentine jurisdiction (1193), and the town also became part of the so-called "Chianti League". Some remains of the imposing defensive architecture (like the towers) still surround Castellina. The walls are interrupted at the highest point by an imposing rectangular-shaped "Cassero" (castle), restored at the beginning of the XX century. "Via delle Volte" also still exists, and it is the only usable part left of the underground corridors that once existed all around the walls. The Castellina area is full of ruins of mediaeval castles like Monternano, Grignano, Pietrafitta. The Pieve of Sant'Agnese and the Pieve of Santa Cristina a Lilliano are very interesting churches. Moreover, many well preserved churches and beautiful farmhouses characterize the whole territory. .
There’s no doubt that Chianti is in fashion. A lot is written and talked about it, both in Italy and around the world. About its idyllic landscape and its unique lifestyle; but also about two of its famous products: wine and oil.
But there’s more to Chianti than this, areas that deserve to be better known and appreciated. And it was with this in mind that a group of journalists got together last year to launch the magazine “InChianti”. It comes out every two months and is more than just a window on the region. It describes local skills and traditions, culture, craftsmanship, products typical of the region, creative and innovative enterprises.

It is an excellent guide to small firms, (who thus benefit by reaching a wider public), and for residents and visitors alike, who often don’t know of the many beautiful things - veritable treasures of imagination and talent - to be found nearby.

Behind each enterprise there is a story, special and unique, not just professional but human too. We love these stories and we tell them, plentifully illustrated with photographs and graphics. It is not enough to just write about what a certain company or artisan produces, you also have to know the how it is made. The aim of this magazine is to satisfy a genuine and widespread interest in such matters

There is a reason why a handmade article costs more than its machine-made equivalent. “InChianti” delves into the origins of the product, letting the craftsman speak for himself. The reader learns the secrets of making the large terracotta olive oil jars, oak wine barrels, a piece of furniture in antique walnut, a cheese, a syrup - all ancient and fascinating crafts. But its not enough just to know about ancient traditions, it’s also important to understand the inherent concept of excellence.

The swimming-pool is usually opened from the 01th (st) of May to the 01th (st) of October. Dates may vary according to the weather conditions.
