Main sights
Villa del Fontino (18th century) was the seat of customs between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and the Papal States. The palace was then named after the families who lived there after the dismantling of customs: Boncompagni and Magrini. The palazzo was then transformed into a farmhouse hotel.[3]
