Sidney Sonnino Castle (Italian: Castello di Sidney Sonnino) is a castle located in Montespertoli, a comune in the Metropolitan City of Florence in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of Florence. Montegufoni stands on the ancient Via Volterrana, the road taken by Charlemagne and other emperors to reach Florence or Rome and which passes through Volterra and Siena. The castle, formerly called "Montespertoli", is of medieval origin. It belonged to the Ghibelline Alberti Counts, Lords of the area, until they became extinct in 1393. It later passed to the Machiavelli family, who already owned a number of estates in the area, and from 1830 it belonged to the Sonnino family.
