As a satellite of Siena since the Clash of Montaperti in 1260, Montalcino was profoundly involved and impacted by the contentions in which Siena became entangled, especially in those with the city of Florence in the fourteenth and fifteenth hundreds of years, and like numerous different urban communities in focal and northern Italy, the town was likewise up to speed in the internecine conflicts between the Ghibellines (allies of the Sacred Roman Domain) and the Guelphs (allies of the Papacy). Groups from each side controlled the town at different times in the late archaic period.
When Siena had been vanquished by Florence subject to the Medici family in 1555, Montalcino waited for very nearly four years, in any case tumbled to the Florentines, under whose influence it stayed until the Great Duchy of Tuscany was amalgamated into a unified Italy in 1861.
