Scrofiano is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, a ''frazione'' of the ''comune'' of Sinalunga in the province of Siena. It is located on a hill in Val di Chiana, a few kilometers from Sinalunga proper. Scrofiano appeared probably in the 11th century. It is known however with certainty from the 12th century, when it was a fief of the Cacciaconti family, as part of the Republic of Siena. In the early 15th century it was the seat of a decisive battle between the Ghibelline Sienese and the Guelph Florentines. In 1554 its castle was besieged by the Imperial-Florentine troops, which destroyed its walls. ==Main sights== *''Torre del Cassero'' (12th century) *''Palazzo Comunale'' (14th-15th centuries) *The ''Collegiata di San Biagio'' church (13th century), housing a canvas by Santi di Tito portraying the ''Pietà with St. Francis'' (c. 1580). *The church of the Company of ''San Salvatore'' is also home to a work by Santi di Tito. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scrofiano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
