The area of Monteriggioni was inhabited since Etruscan times, but were the lords of Staggia to build the first town in Abbadia Isola in the twelfth century. The castle of Monteriggioni was then built by the Sienese in the thirteenth century as a defensive bulwark against the repeated attacks of Florence. In 1554 Giovannino Zeti betrayed Monteriggioni and Siena and opened the castle to the troops of Florence who later managed to conquer the entire Siena. With the Medici, the city of Monteriggioni had a remarkable economic growth that continued with the Lorena. At the beginning of the nineteenth century was invaded by Napoleon's troops and in 1861 it was annexed to the new Kingdom of Italy.
