It is likely that large fortified castles were standing in the area even before the year 1000 \u2013 similar to the nearby Castles of Monteorlandi and Monte Cascioli (destroyed by the Florentines in the early 12 th century) and other smaller ones which might have had towers facing the Arno valley to protect the rural settlements, sending warning signals of the arrival of unwanted guests. As the Florentine dominion expanded in the 13th century, these settlements became \u201cResidences of the Lords and Ladies\u201d or for those wealthy Florentine bourgeoisie landowners.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #3e4940;\"><strong>In the 14 th century the area became filled with estates belonging to the Albizi<\/strong><\/span> family, more specifically to the brothers Giovanni and Antonio di Tedice. Further proof of their influence upon the area is the Tabernacle with a sacred image which Giovanni Albizi had built in 1429 along the road leading to the Church of San Romolo.

There are no elements at this time to confirm that it was once used as a defensive fortress. However, the main portion of the building has an L-shaped layout that develops into two compact structures on the north and south-western corners. The characteristics of the stonework suggest that there might have been two towers there and that it is possible that the origin of the building was that of a 13 th century aristocratic house-tower.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">It is also possible that as early as the late 13 th century and most definitely during the one that followed that the building underwent a detailed expansion structured around the L-shaped layout (it is still visible) to enclose the courtyard. The other two sides were protected by a wall \u2013 once again suggesting a defence post for the surrounding countryside.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #3e4940;\"><strong>One of the most distinctive traits of the building which has survived the passage of time is the arch opening onto the surrounding wall leading to the courtyard.<\/strong> <\/span>The masonry blocks on the corners present a lowered archivolt with a slightly pointed extrados that can be dated to the 14 th century.<br>The keystone of the arch is decorated with a floral or radius design that is practically indecipherable.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The building, however, has maintained the \u201cat court\u201d characteristic so typical of a late medieval rural settlement: an open area protected by a wall for the \u201cResidence of the Lords and Ladies\u201d, another area for their workers and other indoor areas equipped for the production and conservation of the goods obtained from the land. Notwithstanding a series of additions over the centuries, the main purpose of the land was for farming. This was possible because the complex retained its rural use instead of developing into a bona fide aristocratic estate. <span style=\"color: #3e4940;\"><strong>The farm is easily identifiable on the area\u2019s ancient topographical planimetries<\/strong><\/span> since it is located only a few metres from the road that connected residents and the Church of Sant\u2019Ilario a Settimo to the Church

Lastra a Signa) and the documentation found confirms its denomination as such. <span style=\"color: #3e4940;\"><strong>It is also mentioned in the late 15 th century Maps of the Peoples and Roads of the Captains of the Guelphs<\/strong> <strong>(National Archives, Florence), the Florentine magistrature in charge of the maintenance of road access.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\">This document clearly indicates the farm\u2019s location and its proprietor as the Shelter of San Matteo: In fact, the building was found along the road leading to the Church of Santa Maria a Castagnolo and a rural aggregate known today as Poggio Vittorio (still in existence). The Florentine Shelter of San Matteo (one of the city\u2019s oldest and most important) was founded in the late 15 th century, a donation of Guglielmo (Lemmo) or Lelmo Balducci, in Florence\u2019s Piazza San Marco. Its 15 th century loggiato (open gallery) overlooked what is now Via Ricasoli next to the Accademia Gallery.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"color: #3e4940;\"><strong>One of the Florentine magistratures, l\u2019Arte del Cambio, was assigned by Balducci to manage the Shelter and all of its wealth and properties through a camerlengo.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c0e607c\" data-id=\"c0e607c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45b70b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"45b70b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">It was abolished by The Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II in 1784 and converted into the Academy of Fine Arts. The Shelter\u2019s many properties, including Mulettino, were transferred to the Shelter of Santa Maria Nuova and later sold off. The Shelter of San Matteo, which had owned farmland and woodlands in the area of San Romolo a Settimo since the 15 th century, purchased Mulettino on 31 January 1556. The sum of 605 Italian scudi to buy the farm were added to the dowry of Ippolita, the daughter of Jacopo di Giovan Francesco Fantoni, who had formerly purchased it in 1534 from Caterina di Rinieri Ghinetti, the widow of Cristoforo di Marco Bracci. Like other agrarian lands (the property included vineyards, olive groves and woodlands), the peasants tilling the soil levelled it out; the Shelter obtained wood, oil, wine and fruit from Mulettino. A list of the Shelter\u2019s properties describes the farm\u2019s main building in great detail and corresponds perfectly to the one we now see after almost five centuries: <span style=\"color: #3e4940;\"><strong>\u201cThe property known as Mulettino is a farm with a manor for the master and his workers united by an \u2018antiport\u2019, courtyard with cistern and pomegranate trees, vaults, stables, oil press, oven, warehouse, attic and all of its belongings under the Authority of Galluzzo, San Romolo a Settimo\u201d<\/strong><\/span> (Florentine State Archives, Shelter of San Matteo \u2013 Lemmo Balducci n. 97 c.31).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History L&#8217;Olmo Farm From the high hills of San Romolo a Settimo above Lastra a Signa where the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7627","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 -
