On those "wooded solitudes" in 976 San Romualdo founded the Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo, distant origins of today's Verghereto. Legend has it that the name derives from "penned" that the monks used for hunt the Holy that had imposed rules too rigid.The monastery "for rosura" collapsed. The hill upon which arose was partly rebuilt inside of the village, which in the meantime, had arisen around, fortified and surrounded by walls. In the middle ages it was an important castle of the Counts Guidi who controlled the traffic on this part of the Apennines between the upper valley of the Savio and the Tiber.
