  Castello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castello is the largest of the six sestieri of Venice.
The district grew up from the thirteenth century around a naval dockyard on what was originally the Isole Gemini, although there had been small settlements of the islands of San Pietro di Castello (for which the sestiere is named) and Isola d'Olivolo since at least the eighth century.
Other attractions in Castello include the Scuola di San Marco, the Church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, the Scuola San Giorgio degli Schiavoni, the Church of San Girogi dei Greci, the Campo Santa Maria Formosa, the Church of La Pieta and the Church of San Zaccaria.

 Castello Banfi - A Profile
The Marianis established Castello Banfi in 1978, assembling a contiguous estate of 7,100 acres (2,830 hectares).
Castello Banfi pioneered the planting of noble French grape varieties in the area, and research continues to pair the various microclimates on the estate with the varieties that will flourish under those conditions.
Castello Banfi initially identified 160 presumed clones and, through cataloguing vineyards and microvinification, narrowed the selection down to a final 15 complementary clones that are planted in pre-determined proportion to yield the most consistently outstanding Brunello.

 Florence Art Guide - The Villa Reale at Castello
Its name is apparently derived from a water reservoir ("castellum" in Latin), that once formed part of the Roman aqueduct, later used to supply the play of water and fountains in the park; it has since been filled in to form the square in front of the villa.
Only a few decades were to pass before the villa was sacked during the seige of 1527; the Medici were thrown out of the city and then returned to govern it, this time permanently.
This was Duke Cosimo I, the son of Giovanni delle Bande Nere; he had grown up in the villa of Castello, far from the political intrigues of the city and the rest of the family, thanks to the foresight of his mother, Maria Salviati.
