  • Genealogical History of the Noble Families Fr Om Tuscany and Umbria Recounted by D
    A few days ago, our common friend and Guadagni historian Henri Guignard, from Boutheon, Lyon, France, has sent me by email an old book written in 1668, 202 years before Passerini’s book, on the history and genealogy of the noble families of Tuscany in 17th century Italian, with many pages on the history of the Guadagni. It is a fascinating document, starting to relate the family history before the year 1000, so more than a century before Passerini, and I will start translating it hereafter. GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE NOBLE FAMILIES FR OM TUSCANY AND UMBRIA RECOUNTED BY D.
