Casa natale di Amos Cassioli
ASCIANO
This three-story building has no particular architectural features. Its construction presumably dates back to the first half of the sixteenth century, when it began to build houses along the new path of the Lauretana that crossed the old town to the east.
The materials used for the load-bearing walls of the building were: small pieces of gallvice, bricks and earth mixed with lime; nothing that was used in the past for a stately building.
Its notoriety is due only to having been the birthplace of Amos Cassioli, great Italian painter of the nineteenth century; he was entitled the local
"Museum of 19th century Sienese painting".
