Alessandra Macinghi : ウィキペディア英語版 | Alessandra Macinghi Alessandra Macinghi Strozzi (1406 – March 2, 1471) was an elite Florentine woman from a political merchant family in the 15th century. Alessandra is best known for her letters, chronicling her fight to stubbornly preserve her family's property and position in Medicean Florence. 〔Macinghi Strozzi, Alessandra, and Heather Gregory. 1997. Selected letters of Alessandra Strozzi. Berkeley: University of California Press〕 Overcoming economic hardship and political strife, she raised her sons to be successful merchants and bankers. Seventy-three letters that she wrote were preserved by her son Filippo Strozzi The Elder and they were compiled and published in 1877 by Cesare Guasti and Alessandra’s letters are currently preserved in the Archivio di stato in Florence.〔Mirrer, 47〕Her letters remain some of the richest and revealing autobiographical materials to survive 15th century Florence, offering historians a glimpse into the life of a Renaissance widow. 〔Coco, 203.〕 ==Early Life==
Alessandra was born into the Macinghi family, a newly elite merchant patriciate family. 〔Macinghi Strozzi and Gregory, 1–2〕 The Macinghi family gained success as bankers and wool manufacturers and were politically engaged throughout Medicean (Medici) rule in Florence.〔Crabb, 23–24.〕 She was born to Filippo di Niccoló Macinghi and Caterina di Bernardo Alberti. Caterina died while Alessandra was still young, and Alessandra’s father remarried to Ginevra di Albertuccio Riscasoli. In 1420, two years before Alessandra was to be married, Alessandra’s father died before Alessandra's marriage, for which he had already set aside a large dowry of 1600 florins. 〔Macinghi Strozzi and Gregory, 3〕
