Castelnuovo Berardenga - located
between Chianti Classico and "crete senesi" (the
typical southern Siena landscape).
Castelnuovo village stands on a pleasant
hill, bordered by Ombrone and Malena streams, at the crossroads
of the ancient roads coming from Siena, High Arno Valley and
Chiana Valley.
The name Castelnuovo means "new
castle" and dates back to 1366 when Siena Repubblic ordered
its construction near Poggio ai Frati. At that time Castelnuovo
ruled all the little villages in its district. The sighting
tower of Poggio ai Castelli still exists and from the top
it you can view the wonderful surroundings.
Towards the end of the 18th century,
the Villa Chigi, surrounded by a large park, was built on
the site of the castle. The Neoclassical church of Santi Giusto
e Clemente has a Virgin and Child by Giovanni di Paolo (1426)
and a painting by Andrea di Niccolò.
