Still drawing this one…Ancora un attimo, la stiamo disegnando…Einen Moment, wir zeichnen sie noch…
The hamlet of Incisa originally developed on the hill, where today still lie the remains, almost indiscernible, of the ancient rectangular-plan Castle and of Casa Petrarca, the place where the poet spent some years of his childhood. Later the village expanded along the Arno river, so much that its name comes from the fact that water has indeed "inciso" (carved) the rock upon which it later was built. While the Torre della Bandinella rises across the bridge, on the opposite bank you can see the municipal Palace and the Sant'Alessandro church. The tower dates back to the 14th century and is named after the owner family of the castle, nowadays replaced by a farmhouse.
