Casa natale di Amos Cassioli
corso Giacomo Matteotti, 64
Business card (vCard)
This three-story building has no particular architectural features and was built using stone and earth, except for a few bricks.
Its construction dates back to the second half of the fifteenth century, when, with the construction of Porta del Bianchi, it was decided to make the important Via Lauretana pass through the town and build homes to replace the wooden ones, destroyed in Camparboli to eradicate the plague of a few years earlier and which, in the suburb, had raged the most.
New brick homes were thus built, on the left side of the current Corso Matteotti.
Amos Cassioli was therefore born in a comfortable but not important house, suitable for his family, belonging to the local middle class.
The fame of the place derives only from having been the birthplace of the great nineteenth-century painter, remembered by fellow citizens with a marble plaque placed on its facade.
Many of the works of this great Tuscan painter and his son are today jealously preserved in the local Museum of Nineteenth-Century Sienese Painting, named after him.
