Mazzolla
Mazzolla still retains the configuration of an antique hamlet. Noteworthy the small Catholic church dedicated to San Lorenzo with its Romanesque facade and interior from the beginning of the nineteenth century and the residential villa owned by the Viti family. The villa was bought by Giuseppe Benedetto Viti, an adventurous man that in his travels was even appointed Emir of Nepal. The Villa is a pleasant mixture of styles from mediaeval times unto the eighteenth-century: facing a large garden with the two towers built for defence from which one has a splendid view toward Volterra. In the garden there is an oval reservoir five meter large, eighteen meters long and six meters deep.
