"In 1299, the Council of Florence decided to build some outposts in the countryside surrounding the city in order to be able to control its territory better. In 1306, the Florentine rulers defeated the powerful Ubaldini family who had controlled the Mugello area for over a hundred years and on the 7th September of that year they built a Castel San Barnaba, which was later called Scarperia."
