We can’t help but throw in some photos & info on a rather glorious old ruin in Radicofani, the
Osteria Grande now abandoned, & built in the 1500’s by the Medici Family, of course.
Medici Post House portico, Radicofani with rings for tethering horses. Known as Osteria Grossa, the Great Hostelry.
In its day, it welcomed through its doors almost every celebrity to have ever visited Rome before the age of rail.
Mozart was here with his father Leopold,
Charles Dickens complimented the spacious, carpeted quarters with its open fire. The Austrian
Emperor Franz Joseph II,
Stendhal,
Chateaubriand and many more stopped over.
The Medici Portico, fountain and horse trough from 1603. The Six Balls are the Medici Arms. This was sketched by William Turner in 1828 when he stayed here.
This fireplace in the kitchen & dining hall was the only fireplace other than the Popes’ quarters so very often ‘milord’ would sleep in front of this fire with his servants rather than in the door-less, unheated rooms upstairs.
