THE HISTORY
Guicciardini Family
1199
The Guicciardini family
The Guicciardini family, one of the oldest families in Florence, has been a prominent figure in the political, social, and economic life of the city since the 13th century.
1416
Pietro Guicciardini
In 1416, Piero Guicciardini was appointed "Count Palatine" by Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg. They actively participated in the public life of Florence, providing the city with 44 "priors", 16 "gonfaloniers of justice", and 12 senators.
1483-1540
Francesco Guicciardini
The pre-eminent figure of the family was Francesco, the historian who, after holding important positions with the Medici - ambassador to Spain, governor of Modena and Reggio, head of the League of Cognac - retired to Florence and Poppiano where he wrote part of his most famous work, the History of Italy.
1190
Castello di Poppiano
The history of the Guicciardini family is inextricably linked to the Castello di Poppiano, a medieval construction originally with a triple ring of walls, built around the year 1000 as an external fortress to defend Florence. An act of inheritance from 1199 confirms its belonging to the Guicciardini for at least nine centuries.
1369
Castello di Poppiano
The castle is located in the hills of Tuscany, near the town of Montespertoli. It is a large, imposing structure with a square plan. The walls are made of stone and brick, and they are topped with battlements. The castle has been owned by the Guicciardini family for over 900 years. It has been a home to the family, a seat of power, and a symbol of their wealth and prestige. The castle is a valuable historical and cultural resource. It is a popular tourist destination.
1529
Castello di Poppiano
The castle was partially ruined in 1529 during the siege of Florence, as Francesco Guicciardini recalls in his Memoirs. The castle as it stands today, while retaining its ancient grandeur, is the result of restoration work, based on images in frescoes that exist in other Guicciardini villas in the Val di Pesa and Val d'Elsa, following the damage caused by an earthquake in 1812.
