Letter by Parigi Corbinelli, Florence 26th August 1428 to Averardo De Bicci Medici

On concession of the Ministry of the National and Environmental Heritage

I Parigi Corbinelli is a complex of buildings, whose the oldest dates back to the 14th century. The medieval tower was built in this strategic position, on the crest of the hill, for the military control of the surrounding territory. From 1427 this fortified residence was the home of Tommaso Corbinelli, son of Parigi, whose coat of arms can still be seen above the doors.

In 1428 Lorenzo di Parigi Corbinelli offered the water from his wells to the neighboring monks of the Certosa, who, still today, use the water to irrigate their vegetable gardens. At the beginning of the 16th century the house passed into the hands of the Antinori family, who transformed its military functions to more rural activities, in particular the production of wine, olive oil and forage. It is from this period that the annex buildings were constructed to house the labourers. Since 1918 I Parigi has belonged to the present owners, who still make their own wine and oil.
