Semproniano

The origin of Semproniano, according to tradition, dates back to the Roman Gens Sempronia and, in the area of Rocchette Fazio, there have been found archaeological remains of a farm dating back to the Etruscan period. The village just before the year 1000 was part of the possessions of the Aldobrandeschi family, who ruled until the mid-fourteenth century, when the country was under the dominion of the Republic of Siena.
