Reggello is one of the cool and shaded towns closest to Florence;
loved by Florentines who are looking for a little relief from the city during the summer months, it’s also a perfect day trip.
The town of Reggello as we know it today was probably once called Castelnuovo della pieve di Cascia, due to two imperial papal bulls in 1103 and 1134 and which was distinguished from the Castelvecchio di Cascia;
owned by the Guidi Counts, some Florentine Guelphs found refuge there in 1248 having been driven out by the ruling Ghibelline faction in Florence.
After being passed under the leadership of the Florentine Republic between the end of the 13th century and the start of the 14th century, the castle of Cascia was fortified in 1385.
Reggello’s regional structure was formed in 1840 when the parishes of San Clemente and Santa Maria in Sociana were joined to it.
