In 1363, the buildings were donated to Santa Maria della Scala Hospital in Siena and under this administration, the property was transferred to a place to treat the injured. Document 1440 states that the residence was "a place for the restoration of pilgrims and tourists consisting of 8 rooms, a stable and a hospital room". Follow-up of the Grand Duke of Leopoldo II of the Tuscan Decree of 1751 to regulate Tuscan hospitals has been closed down and sold into a private residence. In the first half of the 19th century, Le Spidalito was obtained by painter Francesco Nensi who personally decorated the living room in the main house. He also painted an extension of the church of Santa Croce where there is an interesting altar piece. The church and the living room can be visited upon request. All buildings have recently been renovated to reflect the history and tradition of Le Spidalito. As our predecessors did in the past days, we welcome the modern travelers who visit Siena and its suburbs Aia means "hangar". It is also the Italian name The Hague.
