点评:Among all the municipalities of Chianti Classico, Radda in Chianti has the distinction of having been the capital of the "Lega del Chianti": the union that governed the Chianti's communities — subject to the rule of Florence — in opposition to rival Siena. This union was founded around the mid-13th century and survived until 1774.
The League's headquarters, from the 15th century onwards, was located in the current "Palazzo del Podestà," making it unique among the municipalities of Chianti. It's characterized, among other things, by the coats of arms of many podestàs who governed from this palace over the centuries.
Furthermore, the palace was partially destroyed in 1479, when the King of Naples, Ferrante I of Aragon (allied with the Pope and the cities of Siena, Lucca, and Urbino), waged war on Florence, which was effectively ruled by Lorenzo the Magnificent. Not only that: the Aragonese destroyed most of the town of Radda, which explains why today, even within the ancient walls (only a small portion of which survives), the traditional buildings are often unrecognizable.
Despite this, the town has retained numerous spots rich in character, reminiscent of centuries past. It should also be noted that after 1479, the village was rebuilt and thus retains urban and architectural features, if not from the Middle Ages, then from the early modern period.
Overall, a visit to Radda is a pleasant experience of a picturesque village from the past.
翻译:在基安蒂经典产区的所有市镇中,拉达因基安蒂 (Radda in Chianti) 的独特之处在于它曾是“基安蒂联盟”(Lega del Chianti) 的首府。该联盟统领基安蒂各市镇,隶属于佛罗伦萨,与竞争对手锡耶纳抗衡。该联盟成立于13世纪中叶,一直延续到1774年。
自15世纪起,联盟总部便设在如今的“总督府”(Palazzo del Podestà) 内,这使其在基安蒂各市镇中独树一帜。这座宫殿的特色之一便是其上悬挂着历代总督的纹章,这些总督曾在此执政数个世纪。
此外,1479年,那不勒斯国王阿拉贡的费兰特一世(与教皇以及锡耶纳、卢卡和乌尔比诺等城市结盟)向佛罗伦萨发动战争,当时佛罗伦萨实际上由洛伦佐·德·美第奇 (Lorenzo the Magnificent) 统治,而这座宫殿也因此遭到部分损毁。不仅如此,阿拉贡人还摧毁了拉达镇的大部分地区,这也解释了为什么如今即使在古老的城墙内(仅存一小部分),传统的建筑也往往面目全非。
尽管如此,小镇仍然保留了许多充满特色的景点,让人想起几个世纪前的岁月。值得一提的是,1479 年后,小镇进行了重建,因此保留了一些城市和建筑特色,即便不是中世纪的,也是近代早期的。
总而言之,游览拉达是一次令人愉悦的体验,仿佛置身于一座风景如画、充满历史韵味的小镇。
