The house, big and stern, with a tower from the XII century, is situated on
the Ancient Via Francigena (the road to France). In the year 990
B.C. the Canterbury Archbishop SIGERIC was going to Rome and he
stopped at the Santa Maria a Chianni Church (Santa Maria Glan), a very
beautiful roman church.
