78. Montefioralle






Montefioralle, like Monteriggioni, was a walled medieval town atop a mountain that served as a fortified outpost of Siena. However, once Siena was absorbed into Florence, most of the residents of Montefioralle had the good sense to decamp to a more convenient place now that the war was over. And that's how Greve was born. A half dozen families stayed up here, and if you don't mind the inconvenience, it's a very pretty place to live.
