Even before this time, hospitals had been institutionalized by the Church following the Christian philosophy which aimed at giving travelers protection, food and a place to spend the night. Since the Middle Age four hospitals were located in Montegonzi: the first, run by the Bigallo’s from Florence in Selvatici, the second, run by a congregation of religious women known as Pinzochere, in Fontebussi, the third in Mercatale (Montegonzi), which is today the Santissima Annunziata Chapel and probably the fourth one in Sereto.

Inside the hospital compounds oratories, that is small chapels for private worship, were found and, here, pilgrims could pray and listen to the Holy Scriptures before their meals. Moreover, these places were also adjoined to villas as it happened in Fontebussi, proved by a 1615 document with the title "Gesù Salvatore".

On a different note, since the XVI century there are documents that show the existence of furnaces in Montegonzi, where inhabitants used to make their roof tiles as well as their pottery. The same applies to the Fontebussi’s Villa and the Poggiarina, where the art of baking clay was very prosperous against a payment of 10 "soldi" for using the furnace. This kind of business went on until the XIX century and it was so widespread among the dwellers that they were called "pentolai" ( pottery men).

In 1576, it seems that there was an olive mill in Fontebussi whose motive power was a bull rather than water. At that time, another example of business together with windmills, olive mills and baking clay was the textile "industry": it is a fact that in Montegonzi four shops were dedicated to linen weaving as well as one within the Fontebussi's Villa owned by the Santissima Annunziata Hospital.

During the second half of the XVIII century, the farm system grew more popular due to the rising prices of agricultural products. This period seems to date the birth of some farms in the Montegonzi area, as it is the Fontebussi‘s building with its impressive "palace" with garden and various surrounding properties. As it is suggested by the "Mappe dei Capitani di Parte Guelfa", this villa (Low Springs Villa) recalls a simplified version of a Renaissance Villa with a smaller tower (torrino) at its top, also used as a "pigeon house". This villa stands out for the elegant geometry of the façade punctuated by an orderly arrangement of windows and loggiati (a sort of veranda) surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and premises for processing and storage of agricultural products.

In 1765, the profits of the Fontebussi’s farm, owned by the Perri’s family, were not sufficient to sustain their lifestyle. As a consequence, the vicar Pecci began to build a nearby villa in order to enlarge the property using, it appears, church money as well. Except for the villa, all the surrounding houses of the village are small and rather low in height.

The Fontebussi's farm was owned by the Masera's family until the seventies, when it was then inherited by a board called l’Opera Pia degli Ospedali Riuniti di Sant' Antonio, that decided shortly after to sell it. At the time, the local government expressed the strong will to keep the historical and social aspects of the "rural village". As a result, in 1997, the present owner, the Ornani's family, driven by a true love and passion for their land, began a full restoration of the borgo, starting from the chapel and the devotional work "Madonna con gli Angeli" through its upper part the Poggiarina. The architecture of some structures has been left intact as an account of its ancient origins.

The Ornani's family has therefore succeeded in bringing back to life a town that for years had been abandoned and inhabited, with a risk of losing such a special and unique place, one that fortunately today can be experienced by both the inhabitants of this territory and by those who choose Tuscany for their ideal holiday.
