| | Holiday villa: Il Conventino, Anghiari, Tuscany - The history of the Conventino |
 | | By 1042, this same place is called “St. Maria of Tuscia”, formerly part of the castle of Montaione, or Mount Juno, indicating its former character as a shrine dedicated to the goddess Uni, the Etruscan Juno. |
 | | In the meantime, the Tiber is moved away from Anghiari by 1197, and the strategic importance of the Conventino and its dam on a tributary of the Tiber wanes. |
 | | A delegation comes from a monastery in Lucca, however, in 1351, and transfers authority for the Conventino called the church of St. Maria Magdalene of Petra Clusine, or the ‘Stone of Chiusi’ to one of the original Longobard monasteries at Mount Amiato near Siena. |
