History

Galatrona in the Middle Ages

From the 13th century the Guidi counts of Modigliana owned, among others, the castle of Galatrona, which from 1208 was organised under the Statute of the Val d’Ambra and in 1225 was placed under the protection of the commune of Arezzo. From 1335 Galatrona came under the rule of the Florentine Republic, organised as a podesteria.
