More information on specific request.

The village of San Miniato is located on a hill not far from the Arno River between Florence and Pisa, which for centuries fought for supremacy. The origins of the village, famous for its exquisite white truffle, date back to the Etruscan and Roman times. Over the centuries, many important personalities stayed in the castle, including Frederick I and Pope Gregory V.
In the Middle Ages, the town known as San Miniato al Tedesco flourished: Otto I made it a center of imperial administration in 962, while under Frederick II it played an important role in the collection of taxes for central Italy from 1218.
Moreover, San Miniato is one of the stages of Archbishop Sigerich on his return journey to Canterbury and consequently one of the historical stops along the Via Francigena.
