TECHNICAL DETAILS LOCATION Certaldo is a municipality at the heart of Valdelsa in the province of Florence, among the rolling hills covered with vineyards, olive groves and rows of cypresses.

This site was the home of Giovanni Boccaccio, consisting of several buildings of great historic and artistic interest.

Certaldo is touched by the waters of the river Elsa and by the Agliena stream where it ends. The town centre extends to the sides of a main road, forming two very different hubs, consisting of a medieval part, with the Praetorian Palace, called Certaldo Alto, which is located above a hill and the modern part of Certaldo which extends onto the plains and followed the Medieval settlement.

The origins of Certaldo date back to Etruscan and Roman times, its toponym in fact is derived from the Latin cerrus altus meaning hill covered with Turkey oak.

The first we hear of the town is in 1100 when Frederick I Barbarossa ceded the territory to the Alberti Counts who ruled until the end of the thirteenth century.

With the power of Florence, Certaldo was the centre of the Vicarage at the beginning of 1400. In part of Certaldo Alta, the medieval type village, the Pretorian Palace, the birthplace of Giovanni Boccaccio, author of the Decamerone, beautiful churches and the nobles’ palaces, tower houses and the narrow streets leading to the circle of walls can still be found intact.
