History
A first Monte was founded in San Gimignano in 1501, which however had to cease its activity in 1534 and of which little information remains. In 1572, the Monte was refounded at the behest of Cosimo de 'Medici. With the Napoleonic period began a progressive decline of the institute's activity, which culminated in 1903 with the dissolution of the administration and the appointment of a prefectural commissioner. In 1923 the Monte passed definitively to Congregazione di Carità.
