Villa di Murlo : ウィキペディア英語版 | Villa di Murlo The Villa di Murlo is a rural palace or villa located in the hills surrounding San Casciano in Val di Pesa, on the old road between Florence and Siena that follows the Pesa River. == History == The present villa dates back to the 15th century, but as far back as the Middle Ages the Cavalcanti, a powerful Florentine Guelph family, owned numerous holdings in the locality of Murlo between the Pesa river and its tributary, the Virginio. The old feudal property was destroyed by the Ghibellines after their victory over the Guelphs at the Battle of Montaperti. What remained of the estate was divided up between various members of the Cavalcanti family, and Lorenzo Cavalcanti undertook the task of reconstruction and improvement, as well as buying back neighbouring land, as recorded in a survey from 1498. Lorenzo's daughter Contessina later married Alessandro Malegonnelle, a prominent courtier, who further enlarged the property. When Contessina was widowed in 1560 the estate was purchased by the wealthy Bongianni Gianfigliazzi (1500–1568), a diplomat for Florence. The ''Piante dei Capitani di Parte Guelfa'' of 1584, now found in the Florentine State Archives, mentions a chapel, testifying to the importance of the house. In 1617 the estate was purchased by Angelo and Francesco Baldocci, who commissioned important construction works including the enlargement of the villa and the chapel. The property was inherited in the 18th century by a nephew, Leonardo Spinelli Baldocci, who died leaving no heirs; thus in 1812 the Villa di Murlo was passed on to Gaetano and Carlo Spinello Spinelli. The two brothers administered considerable assets, including - as well as the Baldocci and Spinelli family estates - those of the Dell'Antella family, owners of the precious Vasari Archives. These were held in a room next to the library on the piano nobile of the villa. When the Spinelli line died out in 1882 the villa passed to Cesare Rasponi Bonanzi (1822–86), son of Spinella Amata Spinelli and count Gabriello Rasponi Bonanzi of Ravenna. Cesare married his cousin Letizia Rasponi Murat, grand-daughter of Napoleon, whose collection of memorabilia was displayed in a room dedicated to the French emperor. Leone, the last Rasponi count, died in 1952 leaving no direct heirs.
