Petrognano is nothing but the village of a city, a vanished city: Semifonte. The small settlement consists of a cluster of houses arranged along the road, many of which house turreted elements (referring to the XIII and XIV centuries) and a castle.
Almost nothing remains of the ancient city but after the demolition of the structures, the materials were reused in several buildings located on the same hill. In these buildings there are tower-houses which in the following centuries were transformed into farmhouses, generally after having been spared.
At the center of the village of Petrognano Semifonte stands the dome of San Michele Arcangelo, whose project envisaged that the dome was 1/8 of that of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. Around it the hill is intensely cultivated with vines and olive trees while on the slopes there are wooded areas.
This means that the landscape surrounding the property is characterized by buildings of high historical and cultural interest, in addition of course to the typical panorama of the Tuscan hills.
