Review of the conference"The castels of Valdelsa: history and
archaeology".
On the 12th
of April 1997, at Gambassi Terme -in province of Florence-, there was
a conference about the castels in Valdelsa, territory where is situated
Gambassi.
Five relators
spoke about historical (A. Duccini, F. Salvestrini, O. Muzzi, P. Pirillo)
and archaeological (M. Valenti) aspects of this matter. They illustrated
different situations of city/village (Poggibonsi, Gambassi, Colle Valdelsa)
or territories (Valdelsa, territory among Montaione and San Miniato).
The more numerous part of contributions was about late medieval period.
In the introduction
at the conference, I. Moretti and R. Francovich undelined the importance
of the Valdelsa in this kind of studies and the importance to deepen the
search about the initial phase of "incastellamento". Moreover,
they whished that, to know better this theme, it should be possible to
compare the historic model with the archaeological one.
