Some hundred years later it was bought 1 Rime dtlla Sigra. Tullia d ' Arragona e diversi a Lei. Vinegia. I 547.
2 See " Un' Etera Romana. " Dr. G. Biagi. Nuova Antologia, August, 1 886.
154 BOCCACCIO'S COUNTRY by the Alessandri, who repaired the castle and restored some grotesque frescoes in the chapel, now nearly effaced.
Below Castel di Poggio, Vincigliata towers high among pine-woods and cypresses — a remarkable re- storation of an old feudal castle. If one of the Visdomini, the ancient lord...s of Careggi (Campum regis), as the place was once called, could return, he would feel himself quite at home in the forti-ess built by Mr. Temple Leader. The Usimbardi were the next owners of the castle and, of course, were at deadly feud with their neighbours of Castel di Poggio — thereby hangs a tale, a ghost story.
Giovanni Usimbardi, a friend of Dante, Cavalcanti, and other illustrious Florentines, had a daughter named Selvaggia, with whom the two sons of Del Manzecca fell in love. Simone, the eldest, asked her hand in marriage and was refused, so he stabbed her father, but fortunately only wounded him.
