The Story to Know Vision and Mission: To be innovative in the production of the highest-quality wine, highlighting the full potential of their individual terroirs and reflecting the taste and expectations of the market as well as its demands for natural and accessible wines. Frescobaldi a Family of Wine Estates. Each estate is a unique expression of its local terroir. Each has its individual identity, history, and personality, but they all share a common spirit and a common goal. Together, they represent the best Tuscany has to offer, and the values of the Frescobaldi. 700 Years Of Wine History A Florentine family with thirty generations dedicated to the production of great Tuscan wines, 5,000 hectares of estate properties, over 1,000 hectares of estate vineyards, five estates in Tuscany, and a quality distribution network in over 65 countries worldwide. A Frescobaldi style that brings together tradition and innovation. With the goal of being the most prestigious Tuscan wine producer, Frescobaldi firmly believes in respecting the local land, focusing on the highest quality for its grapes, and investing in communications and in the professional calibre of its personnel. 1092: Florence The Frescobaldi history begins around the year 1000, when the first members of the family moved to Florence from the Val di Pesa area, more precisely from Castillione Vallis Pesae, now called Castiglioni. After settling in the Oltrarno section of the city, they built the lodge and the tower that still stand next to the building, in the Piazza de’ Frescobaldi. Some members of the family devoted themselves to banking, and immediately joined city guilds, the guild of bankers, wool merchants, and silk weavers, all of them among the “Major Guilds”; the seven most important guilds. 1300: Berto de' Frescobaldi The family wine history begins. Berto de’ Frescobaldi bequeaths to his children his rural properties, among them “houses, mills, vineyards, orchards, farms, scattered properties.” Wine made on those properties was exported to Flanders and England, where the Frescobaldis supplied the Court on a regular basis and were also official bankers to the Court. The Frescobaldis devoted themselves to finance, to art, and to culture. Dino Frescobaldi, a poet of the Dolce Stil Novo school and a friend of Dante, returned to his fellow poet some sections of his Divine Comedy after Dante was condemned to exile from Florence. At the end of the century, Leonardo Frescobaldi visited the Holy Land. 1483: Far-off China At the height of their splendour, between the 15th and 16th century, the Frescobaldi opened merchant banks not only in England and in Flanders but in the entire area of the Levant as well, from Constantinople to Damascus, and their numerous interests brought them as far as remote China. Among its activities, the family financed the expedition of Giovanni da Empoli, which went as far as Kerala, in the far south of the Indian peninsula. In the meantime, Castello di Nipozzano had been converted from a fortress into the family residence, it became the main rural town of the surrounding countryside, and the local wines began to flow into the already well-stocked family cellars. 1517: Henry VIII Thanks to the commerce which the family directed, the Frescobaldi wines spread well beyond the borders of the Florentine state: the family archives still preserve some parchments containing wine orders even from Henry VIII of England. Archival documents attest to large shipments of wine that went to the popes as well, and to celebrated artists: Donatello and his workshop, and Michelozzo Michelozzi. 1685: Francesco Redi In the pages of his 17th-century manuscript, “Bacchus in Tuscany,” Francesco Redi limns the virtues of the wines of Pomino. Following the risqué episode of the Ballo Angelico, Bartolomeo Frescobaldi was excommunicated by Pope Clement XI: during a ball at the Villa di Montecastello the guests had danced nude. To obtain forgiveness, Bartolomeo had to go to Rome on foot. He finally won exoneration by promising that he would build 40 churches in the Val di Pesa area. The relationship of the family with the world of culture was made even more intimate by Girolamo, who was chief organist at the Este Court in Ferrara and at the Papal Court in Rome. 1714: The wines of Pomino The wines produced in Pomino, already mentioned by Francesco Redi in the 17th century, continued their role as industry leaders in Italy into the next century. Their claim to quality was confirmed by the Gand Duke of Tuscany, when he issued a proclamation recognising Pomino as one of the four areas in Tuscany most respected for their quality wine production. The year was 1716, fully 140 years before the birth of the Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé classification system. 1855: Vittorio degli Albizzi Marchese Vittorio degli Albizzi, an ancestor of the Frescobaldi, was born in Burgundy in the early 19th century. When he inherited the properties in Tuscany from the Florentine branch of the family, he returned to Florence. He was amazed to find, at Pomino, an environment unique for Tuscany: a mountainous area, of conifers and chestnut trees, of vineyards and olive groves, and enjoying a well-ventilated cool climate with significant temperature differences between day and night. Fresh from his experience in Burgundy, he was among the first in Italy to propose specialised vineyard cultivation and monovarietal plantings, even at altitudes until then not used for vinegrowing. But the conditions were perfect for early-ripening grapes such as Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, which he introduced to Pomino in 1855. 1960: The highest-quality terroirs In the1960s, Vittorio Frescobaldi gave the company a wholly different direction. He decided to upgrade to specialised vineyards, dedicated exclusively to high-quality grape varieties, and he searched for terroirs that would produce the highest-quality fruit. As a result, over a very brief span of time Marchesi de' Frescobaldi had planted over 500 new hectares of vineyards in the province of Florence. At the same time, now one of Italy’s most prominent wine-sector leaders, Frescobaldi modernised the winemaking cellars on each of its tenute with the mission of developing the full potential of each wine estate and of ensuring ultra-premium quality for each of their wines. 1995: Luce della Vite For the first time in Italy, two international wine producers, Marchesi de' Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi, took the step of combining their respective resources and winemaking talents in order to develop the most perfect expression of wine, in the best vineyards in Montalcino. Both families totally committed themselves to crafting Italian wines of extraordinary elegance and quality, displaying an unmistakably individual style and character. With this mutual goal, and sharing the same conviction that a great wine is born in the vineyard, the Frescobaldis and the Mondavis set out to locate the finest vineyards, in Tuscany’s Montalcino area, to produce Luce della Vite wines. 2000: Leaders In every era, the Frescobaldi have succeeded in adapting, meeting and anticipating changing conditions brought by history, and succeeding in marrying experience to innovation. For over 700 years and 30 generations, commitment to agriculture and to viticulture has always figured prominently among the activities of the Frescobaldi family. In particular, from the end of the last millennium, the Frescobaldis have become leading figures in the quality development of viticulture throughout the world, assuming the role of the most prestigious wine producer in Tuscany. Members of the new generation are taking over the heritage of their predecessors. Lamberto, Tiziana, Diana Frescobaldi e Stefano Benini are the cadre that have assumed the centuries-old family experience in order to guide the company toward new challenges. For the past has a future. In 2000 Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi invested for the first time outside Tuscany by acquiring a majority stake in Conti Attems, the historic winery in the Collio. Attems comprises some 75 hectares, of which 49 are in estate vineyards. The Collio is one of Italy’s finest production areas for ultra-premium white wines. The Attems family, represented by Virginia Attems, continues as partner. Ratings "Very Good" - WA.

    SELVAPIANA "VILLA PETROGNANO" POMINO DOC WINE STORY In the hills above the Sieve River valley, where Selvapiana and the rest of Chianti Rùfina are located, is a serene pine forest that holds the secret vineyards of Pomino DOC, owned by just two estates. Thanks to the friendship of Francesco Giuntini with the owner of Villa Petrognano, Cecilia Galeotti Ottieri, Selvapiana has had the opportunity to farm the villa's 13-acre plot for many years. The cool, higher ground here on the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna produces cool-climate fruit and delightfully crisp red wines. The Villa Petrognano vineyards are planted with Sangiovese, along with a significant amount of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which are blended into this modern yet tradition-respecting wine.

  • 1 Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the Universi
    Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Visual Culture In March 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The church of Santo Spirito in Florence is universally accepted as one of the architectural works of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446). It is nevertheless surprising that contrary to such buildings as San Lorenzo or the Old Sacristy, the church has received relatively little scholarly attention. Most scholarship continues to rely upon the testimony of Brunelleschi’s earliest biographer, Antonio di Tuccio Manetti, to establish an administrative and artistic initiation date for the project in the middle of Brunelleschi’s career, around 1428. Through an exhaustive analysis of the biographer’s account, and subsequent comparison to the extant documentary evidence from the period, I have been able to establish that construction actually began at a considerably later date, around 1440. It is specifically during the two and half decades after Brunelleschi’s death in 1446 that very little is known about the proceedings of the project. A largely unpublished archival source which records the machinations of the Opera (works committee) of Santo Spirito from 1446-1461, sheds considerable light on the progress of construction during this period, as well as on the role of the Opera in the realization of the church.

  • In Mugello ART, CULTURE, NATURE in Mugello
    In Tuscany, at just a stone’s throw from Florence, we find Mugello: it is situated among the rolling hills and the tall cypress trees, on the backdrop of the high lofty crests and mountain passes. Artists such as Giotto and Beato Angelico were born in this land where they found the perfect landscape and inspiration for their famous paintings. The incredible landscape, the hospitable, quiet and hard working people, the genuine food, the land of the Medici, the museums, the Liberty itinerary, the tradition of arts and crafts, and the ancient churches and remote convents are just outside the gates of the city of Florence.

Appartiene alla ex Comunità Montana Montagna Fiorentina, oggi Unione dei Comuni Valdarno Valdisieve. Si trova nella Valdisieve sulla riva sinistra del fiume Sieve, lungo la Strada Statale 67 Tosco-Romagnola, circa a metà strada tra Pontassieve e Dicomano. Famoso centro di produzione vinicola: è ubicato infatti al centro della sottozona di produzione del vino Chianti chiamata appunto Rufina e delle DOC Pomino. Il toponimo di Rufina, secondo la maggior parte degli studiosi, è sicuramente di origine etrusca; i reperti del IX secolo a.C. GAL START- COMUNE DI RUFINA “REALIZZAZIONE DI UN CENTRO DI SOCIALIZZAZIONE ANZIANI NELLA FRAZIONE DI CONTEA” confermano l'esistenza, nel luogo, di un abitato di una certa importanza sino dall'epoca villanoviana. L'origine del Comune di Rufina è piuttosto recente, essendo stato istituito il 02/12/1915. Prima di questa data Rufina faceva parte, come frazione, del vicino Comune di Pelago. Il paese trae origine da una consistente opera di bonifica del terreno adiacente al Fiume Sieve alla sua confluenza con il torrente Rufina, realizzata nel primo settecento dai frati del "Poggiolo". Ancora oggi sono visibili strutture murarie di contenimento che hanno consolidato e reso abitabile un ansa del Fiume oggi quasi totalmente urbanizzata.

  • A Florentine Diary
    THE LIBRARIES A FLORENTINE DIARY A nderson SAVONAROLA From the portrait by Fra Bartolomeo. A FLORENTINE DIARY FROM 1450 TO 1516 BY LUCA LANDUCCI CONTINUED BY AN ANONYMOUS WRITER TILL 1542 WITH NOTES BY IODOCO DEL B A D I A 0^ TRANSLATED FROM THE ITALIAN BY ALICE DE ROSEN JERVIS & PUBLISHED IN LONDON IN 1927 By J. M. DENT & SONS LTD. •8 *« AND IN NEW YORK BY « « E. P. DUTTON & COMPANY TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE ALTHOUGH Del Badia's ample and learned notes are sufficient for an Italian, it seemed to me that many allu­ sions might be puzzling to an English reader, especially to one who did not know Florence well; therefore I have added short notes on city-gates, churches and other buildings which now no longer exist; on some of the festivals and customs; on those streets which have changed their nomenclature since Landucci's, day; and also on the old money. His old-fashioned spelling of names and places has been retained (amongst other peculiarities the Florentine was in the habit of replacing an I by an r) ; also the old calendar; and the old Florentine method of reckoning the hours of the day (see notes to 12 January, 1465, and to 27 April, 1468). As for the changes in the Government, they were so frequent and so complex, that it is necessary to have recourse to a consecutive history in order to under­ stand them. A. DE R. J. Florence 1926. The books to which I am indebted are as follows: Storia della Repubblica di Firenze (2 vols.), Gino Capponi.
