Its history, from the 10th century to the Renaissance, is illustrated by an archaeological-artistic tourist trail (works by Riccardo Polveroni) leading visitors to the discovery of the many medieval buildings found there and of historical figures who have sponsored them: from Marquis Ugo of Tuscany (970-1001), to Earls Aldobrandeschi (11<sup>th<\/sup> \u2013 14<sup>th<\/sup> cc.) and Guido Riccio da Fogliano, who conquered Arcidosso for the Republic of Siena in 1331. On the second floor a gallery dedicated to the medieval landscapes of Amiata and Maremma, shows archaeological finds from the site of Castel Vaiolo (10<sup>th<\/sup> c.), including the most important ancient chestnuts\u2019 lot excavated in Tuscany to date. Other sections illustrate architecture and town planning of Amiata and Fiora Valley\u2019s medieval towns and the formation of the Aldobrandeschi County, historic ancestor of present day Province of Grosseto. Italian and English texts, family with school age children trail and accessibility measures for visually disabled people characterize the exhibition, centered on the most updated archaeological researches carried out by the University of Florence Medieval team, in Maremma and Amiata, and designed according to the canons of modern Public Archeology.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"titolo-dettaglio-museo\">Activities<\/h2>\n<p class=\"titolo-pagina\">In progress<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"titolo-dettaglio-museo\">Services<\/h2>\n<p class=\"titolo-pagina\">In progress<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"titolo-dettaglio-museo\">Bookshop<\/h2>\n<p class=\"titolo-pagina\">No<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"titolo-dettaglio-museo\">Accessibility for people with disabilities<\/h2>\n<p class=\"titolo-pagina\">Not accessible<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"titolo-dettaglio-museo\">Opening Hours<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/en\/opening-hours\/\"><strong>Click here to view the museum opening hours<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"titolo-dettaglio-museo\">Contact us<\/h2>\n<p class=\"titolo-dettaglio-museo\"><strong>Museum System Coordination Office:<br \/>\n<\/strong>Luisa Colombini: <a href=\"tel:+390564965268\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(+39)<\/a><strong><a href=\"tel:+390564965268\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 0564 96 52 68<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:sistemamusealeamiata@uc-amiata.gr.it\">sistemamusealeamiata@uc-amiata.gr.it<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong>Facebook: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sistemamusealeamiata\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sistema Museale Amiata<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"titolo-dettaglio-museo\"><b>Info and reservations:<br \/>\n<\/b>Tel. <strong><a href=\"tel:+390564966448\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(+39) 0564 96 64 48<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"mailto:biblioteca@comune.arcidosso.gr.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biblioteca@comune.arcidosso.gr.it<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Middle Ages: Arcidosso and the birth of amiatino Maremma landscape and X-XIV centuries Address Aldobrandeschi Fortress, Captain&#8217;s Halls &#8211; Arcidosso Historic Centre Museum The Aldobrandeschi fortress is one of the most ancient medieval castles in Italy and Europe (cc. 10th \u2013 14th).
