The events are organized under the patronage of the Municipality of Castelnuovo Berardenga and with the collaboration of local associations.
It begins on Saturday 11th, with the day dedicated to the discovery of the history of the Castle of San Gusmè organized by the "Castelnuovo della storia e dell'arte" group at the conclusion of a long research project, started last summer, to broaden the knowledge of the late medieval period. On that day the results of this study will be returned, during the conference scheduled for 10 am, in the premises of the San Gusmè philharmonic society.
“We started from a 1990 work by the historian Roberto Parenti – cas Fosco Vivi of the Castelnuovo Group of history and art explains – on the stratification of a portion of the city walls, and through on-site research that I conducted together with Mauro Lusini, we tried to reconstruct what could have been the shape of the castle of San Gusmè in 1482, before the devastation of 1554. According to our calculations, 95% of the castle walls still exist, and are partly 'hidden' inside today's homes (with guided tours we could visit some homes and with the projection of 47 slides we will show what we have discovered.
And that's not all: this research was preparatory to the creation of two works that bear the signature of Massimo Tosi (known as Tosi Millenaria), one of Italy's most important designers of historical monuments, who is creating a watercolor drawing of the Castle of San Gusmè as we hypothesize it might have appeared in 1482. It will be possible to see the hypothetical shape of the Castle for the first time during this conference. Furthermore, Massimo Tosi is creating a bird's eye map of the entire territory from San Gusmè to Siena, as we imagine it might have been in 1482, with the countryside and settlements. And this work will also be presented on May 11th. We are happy with this beautiful opportunity to return new historical elements to the territory to understand and learn about its past. Not less important - concludes Fosco Vivi of the “Castelnuovo della storia e dell’arte” group – Sunday 12th May will be dedicated to the study of what was the fulcrum of the vast territory of the Berardenghi lords: Orgiale and Valcortese. We hope many of you will come".
