Rocca del Brunelleschi - Vicopisano Pisa. Must See Sights italy

La rocca è composta da un mastio con i lati lunghi circa 15 metri e una torre angolare nel punto più alto dell'abitato, alta 31 metri; una muraglia collega il mastio con una delle torri delle mura, la Torre dei Selvatici. Tramite un muraglione lungo settanta metri si poteva raggiungere la Torre del Soccorso, alla base del colle di Vicopisano, la quale era in comunicazione con l'Arno in modo da poter ricevere aiuti durante gli assedi. La cerchia vera e propria ai piedi della collina è fortificata da torri a base circolare e quadrata, ma ne resta solo il tratto settentrionale. Anticamente nella muraglia di collegamento si apriva un ponte levatoio. Il mastio, dove abitavano il comandante e le sentinelle, ha al suo interno ambienti originali del Quattrocento su sei livelli.

What I Did On My Holidays Part 6: Went to Vicopisano, walked Volterra and shopped in Poggibonsi

Two days for the price of 1! The first day we went to Vicopisano and had a lovely home-cooked meal for lunch, followed by long chat. The weather was so much warmer in Vicopisano, and I didn't have any skin protection or a hat, so I burnt the head off myself! The second day, I walk about Volterra, and we shopped a little in Poggibonsi - I got an XBox for the apartment, which will serve not only as a gaming machine, but also as our streaming machine for Sky - so we can get telly from back home.

Where we had breakfast: Migliorini's -

Casa Barbara - Hotel in Vicopisano PI, Italy

Home alone in Chianni - Up-cycling, Renovations, Vicopisano Antiques Market & Tuscan village life.

BUONGIORNO lovely friends and viewers!

Welcome to Tales from Tuscany!
We are Marisa and David, Australian expats now living part-time in Chianni Tuscany.
During the Global Pandemic, we decided to buy our Italian dream home, sight unseen and with no prior knowledge of the area.
This is our journey and we are taking you along with us!

TODAY'S VLOG...
Left home alone in Chianni, I get stuck into little projects, like up-cycling shelves, painting walls, taking another trip my favourite Antiques market at Vicopisano with my friend Jason and ease myself into village life without my love David.

It's a challenge that I enjoy and I soon find my rhythm and knuckle down into what needs to be done. Fortunately, our long awaited bespoke bed arrives (poor David. never saw it) and life suddenly becomes more comfortable.

As more items arrive at the house, a sense of belonging and warmth start to fill these lovely old walls. I'm really happy with our choices and am excited about what is still to come.
Happy days!

As always, we hope you enjoy the time you spend with us, as much as we love having you with us!

Love and hugs...
Baci ed abbracci :D
Marisa and David xoxoxo

TUSCANY DAY TRIP | San Gimignano, Chianti, Siena & Pisa

Get Your Guide day trip tour:

Vicopisano

Vicopisano sorge su un colle un tempo lambito da fiumi e canali allora navigabili: l'Arno (poi deviato nel 1560), che consentiva il collegamento con Pisa, il mare e Firenze; l'Auser o Serezza, che metteva in comunicazione con il Lago di Bientina (prosciugato a partire dal 1859) e con la Piana di Lucca. Entrambi i fiumi avevano la loro confluenza proprio ai piedi del colle di Vico.
In seguito ad una plurisecolare bonifica (metà del XVI- inizi del XX sec.) tali fiumi e canali sono stati più volte mutati di corso o modificati, ma hanno costituito per secoli uno dei motivi dell'importanza del castello vicarese.
In virtù di tale posizione strategica, da vicus (insediamento aperto, non difeso) l'insediamento diventò già nel X secolo un castellum, ovverosia un insediamento fortificato, per poi divenire, nei sei secoli successivi, una delle roccaforti militari più rilevanti nella zona di Pisa.
Nell'XI secolo Vico è soggetto all'autorità feudale della sede vescovile pisana, che aveva ampi possedimenti nella zona e che quasi sicuramente fu l'artefice della costruzione del primitivo castello altomedievale; ma già alla metà del secolo successivo (1161) si notano i primi segni di ingerenza da parte del Comune di Pisa, che si sostituisce al Vescovo nel controllo politico dell'importante luogo. Nel 1165, a riprova del loro definitivo inserimento nell'orbita politica della città, i vicaresi armarono una delle 11 galee che partecipano ad una vittoriosa spedizione di Pisa contro i genovesi in Sardegna.
Vicopisano, ormai fedele alleata di Pisa, nel corso del XII secolo dovette assumere anche una notevole importanza economica, che ebbe un immediato riscontro nella notevole estensione e qualità edilizia dell'abitato medievale, testimonianza diretta di un ceto di abitanti ricchi abbastanza da poter costruire case e palazzi in pietra, sull'esempio di quelli costruiti nello stesso periodo nella città di Pisa.
Anche la pieve altomedievale venne ricostruita ed ampliata in questo periodo, riutilizzando parte delle murature antiche; il suo interno venne però impreziosito con colonne marmoree provenienti dall'area di Ostia antica, frutto della spoliazioni effettuate sì per motivi pratici, ma anche con l'intento consapevole di dotarsi di vestigia della immortale civiltà romana, di cui Pisa ed i suoi centri viciniori si ritenevano degni eredi (Romanitas Pisana).
Nel XIII secolo, quando Pisa inizia a dare segni di discordie interne fra Comune ed Arcivescovo e fra le varie Famiglie nobiliari, preludio al suo declino, anche il contado viene riorganizzato con funzioni difensive, per meglio sopportare la pressione militare da parte di Lucca e soprattutto di Firenze, che si stava affacciando nel Basso Valdarno. Vico Pisano divenne sede nel 1230 di una Capitania assumendo un ruolo strategico nell'organizzazione territoriale del contado della Repubblica Pisana, alla cui sorte era oramai legata indissolubilmente.
Una certa situazione di prosperità perdurò sino alla metà del XIII secolo, parallelamente allo sviluppo della città di Pisa, ma quando quest'ultima si trovò contrastata per mare da Genova (che la sconfisse nel 1284 nella Battaglia della Meloria) e per terra da Firenze e Lucca anche i piccoli centri che gravitavano attorno alla città della torre si trovarono al centro di scontri e combattimenti che contribuirono all'impoverimento ed allo spopolamento delle campagne ed alla conseguente crisi produttiva di tutto il territorio.
Testimonianza di questa fase militare della storia vicarese è la costruzione della Rocca Pisana o Vecchia, citata nel 1330 e costruita nella parte bassa del colle, nella zona attualmente occupata dal Municipio, che ne ingloba tre torri e le mura di cortina.
Così, dopo quasi cento anni di guerre, battaglie, scontri, saccheggi e pestilenze (1348), che avevano sconvolto, spopolato ed impoverito il contado pisano e la stessa città di Pisa, Vicopisano cadde alla metà di luglio del 1406 in mano a Firenze, che ebbe in questo modo un più facile accesso diretto alla città di Pisa, (caduta nell'ottobre dello stesso anno) ed al suo porto, che cominciava però ad essere ricolmo dei detriti fluviali ed a perdere la sua funzionalità.
Firenze sfruttò a proprio vantaggio la posizione strategica di Vicopisano, ed adottò qui una politica diversa da altri centri della zona (di cui furono smantellate le difese militari): Vico fu rifortificato e per mantenerne un più saldo controllo fu costruita la Rocca del Brunelleschi progettata a partire dal 1434 dal grande architetto Filippo Brunelleschi, che lasciò così un'impronta indelebile nelle fortificazioni vicaresi e nell'aspetto di ampie porzioni del castello, che fu modificato e in parte distrutto per meglio servire agli scopi difensivi previsti dal Brunelleschi.

CLIMBING A MIDDLE AGES CLOCK TOWER IN PISA | PISA VACATION | Tuscany

CLIMBING A MIDDLE AGES CLOCK TOWER IN PISA | PISA VACATION | Tuscany

The main thing that drives tourists to Pisa is usually to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa but truly there are other hidden GEMS OF PISA city. Today we'll be climbing a Middle Ages Clock Tower in Vicopisano.

The Clock Tower is one of the most beautiful and unusual towers in Vicopisano. Various elements contribute to making it interesting: its age, its remarkable height, the presence of the complete set of brackets that once supported the wooden ‘sporto’, and its use as a bell tower.

It can be dated back to the middle of the 12th century, with the addition of corner brick pillars around the 17th century. The tower, with a trapezoidal plan, is about 27 metres high and has a Verrucana stone wall structure.

It has a clock on the façade, while at the top there are two bronze bells that are still working. It was built for military purposes, as a control tower for the road leading to the castle of Vicopisano. Inside the tower there are five levels connected by a system of wooden stairs.

Two Weeks Itinerary in Tuscany, Umbria and Rome | Italy Hidden Gems

We were invited to a friend’s beautiful Tuscany Italy wedding in late August. We used this invitation as the opportunity to rent a car and do a road trip to explore many towns in the region. We also visited Umbria and Rome Italy, for two weeks.

We stayed in Tuscany near the famous Val D’Orcia Italy region for the first one and a half weeks by renting an Airbnb apartment in Chiusi, a small but beautiful town in Tuscany on the border of Umbria. We used our base in Chiusi to travel to all the nearby towns we wanted to visit.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Itinerary of cities and towns visited in order shown in the video:

00:52 - Chiusi
02:21 - Florence
04:43 - Val D’Orcia
05:24 - Salcheto
05:30 - Montepulciano
06:13 - Pienza
06:45 - San Quirico D’Orcia
07:18 - Montalcino
08:00 - Abbey of Sant’Antimo
08:15 - Bagno Vignoni
08:39 - Monticchiello
08:58 - Siena
10:10 - Monteriggioni
10:18 - San Gimignano
11:14 - Castiglione del Lago/Lake Trasimeno
12:43 - Perugia
13:16 - Assisi
14:48 - Orvieto
15:01 - Rome
17:18 - Vatican City

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips and Details:
- We received a Fiat Panda semi-automatic rental car that we don’t recommend. The car would take a few seconds to go after hitting the gas pedal. This would cause the car to slide back in the meantime when parked on a hill, which was pretty uncomfortable. It was the only non-manual car available and fully manual cars would probably have been better.
- Wine is very cheap. Five dollar wines are like 15-20 dollar wines in the states. More expensive wines, especially from local shops and wineries are so good that you can’t find them in the states!
- There were charming small shops and picturesque restaurants in Chiusi. Being on a budget however, we bought most of our food at a nearby supermarket called Pam Superstore (Pam Chiusi on Google Maps), which had everything we needed and local products to try at great prices. We bought the most expensive bottle of olive oil for about 10 dollars and it was the best olive oil we had anywhere.
- You can forgo your car at Chiusi Scalo train station or even visit the town without a car by jumping on a train to the town. You can also rent a car at the train station. We walked 25 minutes from our apartment in Chiusi to the train station and didn’t have to pay for parking at the station this way. Some people got fined for parking at the station since it wasn’t allowed.
- Although we saw so many places in two weeks, we recommend consolidating your itinerary and stick to one or two towns per day to get the most out of them. After seeing so many towns, they all start resembling one another, even though they all have very unique things about them that are easy to miss.
- Places we wanted to go to but didn’t: Parco dei Mulini hot springs, Viterbo, Volterra, Sarteano, Spello, Civita di Bagnoregio, San Marino
- Total budget for two weeks including accommodations ($100 per night for entire, large apartments), car rental ($20 per day), gas (not sure but less than $250), food (not sure but less than $500), and train ($100) was under $3,000. This does not include airfare.
