Villa La Curia is located in the small village of Curiano between Monteroni d’Arbia and Buonconvento on the Via Cassia. Its origins are very ancient as various testify notarial deeds dating back to 1079.

The hospital was a refuge to welcome the poor, pilgrims and the religious ‘of any order’ who came along the path that led from Canterbury through France to Rome.
