The Romanesque bridge dates back to the Middle Ages, precisely to the mid-16th century, although its history is even older, since testimonies of the time report the presence of a wooden crossing in the area known as Villa di Buriano, from which it takes its current name. Transformed into stone during the Middle Ages with the development in Tuscany of the splendid and famous Setteponti road of which it is a part, the Bridge in Buriano with its seven arches has become one of its most precious jewels, enduring to this day to give us breathtaking scenery. The fame that this bridge still has today is also due to the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, who in order to reclaim the Val di Chiana, around 1500 made studies on this stretch of the Arno, impressed by the landscape of the Balze that he drew in many of his paintings.
