Verru'a

The Verruca



The documented history of settlements in the area starts from 780. The territory was defended since that time a stronghold fortress located at the place of the future, an ideal position to control the river Arno and his plain, then still marshland to the sea.
why the fortress of Verruca has always been an almost impregnable stronghold for all the armies and the forces involved in the conquest of the surrounding area.
There are many famous and bloody battles fought in Calci: in 1288 between the Guelphs Pisa and Lucca Army, in 1328 German invasion of Louis of Bavaria, in 1363 invasion of Florence, in 1369 invasion of Charles IV of Bohemia in 1375 and those English of John Hawkwood (Giovanni Acuto).
In 1402 Pisa was bought by the Florentines and the fortress of Verruca, the last bastion of resistance, was conquered and destroyed to prevent the return to be a threat. Pisa in 1503, rose again and the new interest in the Fortress war. The Florentine troops were forced to once again regain the wart, the center of enemy resistance.
The yield was not long after bloody clashes, June 18 the same year and was the final blow to the hopes of independence of Pisa, in fact the city finally capitulated
in Florentine hands after six years.



After 505 years from his fall I dedicate this poem ... I think if it is deserved! ... ..
