Bankruptcy: The castle's hotel business failed in the 1990s, reportedly due to excessive upkeep costs, according to Italy Segreta.
Ownership Changes & Stalled Projects: A British-Italian company bought it in 1999 with renovation plans, but mismanagement and lack of funds halted progress, leaving it abandoned.
Safety Concerns: The building's deteriorating condition made it unsafe, leading to its closure to the public.
Aftermath & Attempts to Revive:
FPXA Committee: A preservation committee formed in 2012 to restore the castle, notes Wikipedia.
Recent Developments: While it remains largely closed, there have been recent reports (as of 2025) of new ownership by Smz Srl aiming for restoration, according to Firenze Made in Tuscany.
Anyone know why it is “temporarily closed” according to google?
