Until the first half of the 1400s, this ancient road corresponded to the urban path of the Lauretana, a pilgrim road, which led to Loreto where the religious complex of the Holy House is located. This street started from Piazza del Grano and ended at Pianella, in front of Palazzo Tolomei. Its path originally lapped the walls of the village, but with the extensive fifteenth-century reconstruction of the walls, it was incorporated into the village.

In the second half of the 15th century the local government, in agreement with the city of Siena, radically changed the urban layout of Asciano, transferring the route of the via Lauretana upstream of the town The new route was made to enter the village through the new door Senese and rejoin the old route, in front of the Hospitale di San Michele adjacent to Palazzo Tolomei.

This decision, at the same time as the construction of the fountain in Piazza del Grano, transformed via Bartololenga into an internal road that, skirting the area of ​​the kilns for the production of shards, directly connected the market square and the Palazzo del Podestà to Palazzo Tolomei, family at that time very influential in Asciano as in Siena.
