The Villa di Mondeggi is a villa located south to Florence (Italy), on the territories of the cities of Bagno a Ripoli, Impruneta and Greve in Chianti. Since 2014, the arable land, olive groves and some of the buildings are occupied by a group reclaiming the land to be managed in accordance with the principles of the commons. The park is about 200 ha of vineyards, olive groves, woods, grassland and arable land. It includes 6 case coloniche (sharecropper's homes). Two hiking trails have been implemented by the province in 2011. First written traces about the villa came from the monks of Vallombrosa Abbey and indicate a probable construction during the 14th century. The first known owners were the Bardi family from Florence who, in 1427, sold the villa to the Portinai family, who, in turn, offered the villa to the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova in 1488.
