Sinalunga has clear Etruscan origins, This can seen from the numerous finds which indicate that around the 8th-6th centuries B.C. there were Etruscan settlements here. Some Roman settlements of the 2nd-1st centuries B.C. were also discovered during the excavations suring the last century near Pieve di Sinalunga. Nevertheless, the first documents which mention Sinalunga are from 1197, the year in which the town passed into the hands of the powerful Cacciaconti family. At the beginning of the 1300s it became part the Sienese State where it remained until 1553 after being seat of the Vicariate from 1337 to 1468. For a short period (1399) it was allied with Galeazzo Visconti but in 1553 was handed over by imperial troops to the Medici State and in 1558 became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and was seat of the Chief Justice. On July 9th 1737 Giangastone died, Gran Duke of the Medici and last descendant of the noble family which had lasted more than 170 years. In 1778 various villages of what are today the wards of Sinalunga were united to form what to all effects is the Commune of Sinalunga. In 1799 Sinalunga was under French rule and was liberated on July 20th, 1814 by Confaloniere Lorenzo Pegni. In 1867 became renowned when the regular army arrested Garibaldi in Palazzo Agnolucci in an attempt to prevent his march on Rome. During the Risorgimental period and in the various campaigns for indipendence (1859-1866) Sinalunga always contributed a considerable number of volonteers. Sinalunga was the birthplace of many illustrious persons such as the musician Ciro Pinsuti (1828-1888) pianist and author of famous novels (Il Mercante di Venezia, Il Libro Santo, among others) as well as pupil and friend of Rossini. There was prof. Giuseppe Stocchi (1832-1900) a famous writer and historian, prof. Ezio Marchi (1869-1908) zoologist and mentor of the "Chianina" breed of cattle. The main productive resources of Sinalunga, predominatly agriculture in the past, is today light industry. The most important sectors are milk products, furniture, engineering, crystal glass, quality ceramics made by craftsmen and terracotta. Salami is another typical product of the area. But Sinalunga has not neglected tourism since it is able to count on a wealth of artefacts and historical remains which provide an attraction for visitors from far afield.
