The history of Radda begins 4000 years ago from the Bronze Age. Radda is one of the first villages that arose around the 5th century AD, at the fall of the Roman Empire. It grows around the year 1000, with a growing population that begins to nest in feudal society. It is among the main centers, thanks to a position that allows a control and a defense of a large area: do not forget that in the Middle Ages and until 1500, Chianti is a disputed territory, the battlefield between Florence and Siena. When the Republic of Florence, starting from the middle of the thirteenth century, organized the "peoples" of the "leagues", the territory of Chianti went to form one of the largest - so much so as to be divided into "third" we could say the three districts that formed it: Radda, Gaiole and Castellina. Documented among the first at the beginning of the fourteenth century, the capital of a third and then from the entire league was the castle of radda that by now had assumed the character and size of a "mutated land", as evidenced by the fifteenth-century Palazzo Pretorio or Palazzo del Podestà, still adorned in the facade by the coats of arms of the Podestà who succeeded each other.
