The origins of Marciano della Chiana date back to the Etruscan times, but the village had a considerable population growth during the Roman age. However, the development that led the town to its present characteristics took place during the Lombardic domination.<\/p>\n

The charming roquefort that dominates the village dates back to the Lombardic age, whereas the city walls and the defensive towers that surround it were added later, during the Medieval times. The architectural style of the fortress is a good indicator of the use it was conceived for: the Rocca<\/strong>\u00a0(fortress) was built for a military and defensive purpose, as opposed to the other castles built in the same geographical area, which destination was mainly residential. The defensive use of the fortress is also confirmed by its strategic location, standing out on a hill in the very middle of the provinces of Siena, Arezzo and Florence as well.<\/p>\n
