dbo:abstract
  • Vincigliata Castle (Italian: Castello di Vincigliata) is a medieval castle which stands on a rocky hill to the east of Fiesole in the Italian region of Tuscany. In the mid-nineteenth century the building, which had fallen into a ruinous state, was acquired by the Englishman John Temple-Leader and entirely reconstructed in the feudal style. Between 1941 and 1943 it served as a small prisoner-of-war camp known as Castello di Vincigliata Campo P.G. 12. It housed some high-ranking British and Commonwealth officers, including Major-General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, who was employed by the Italian government in the Armistice negotiations with the Allies in 1943.

  • Il castello di Vincigliata si trova poco distante da Fiesole in località Vincigliata, via di Vincigliata 13. Si tratta forse del miglior esempio di realizzazione del sogno romantico di medioevo della nutrita colonia inglese che nell'Ottocento animava la vita culturale di Firenze. (it)
