TENUTE GUICCIARDINI STROZZI – TUSCANY – ITALY
“The oldest document that testifies to the existence of Cusona dates back to the year 994. The Cusona property stands opposite the famous medieval town of San Gimignano. The illustrious characters of the Guicciardini Strozzi families have marked the history of Italy and Europe. Francesco Guicciardini, for whom Machiavelli worked as a secretary, was a prominent politician, philosopher and historian.
The Strozzi, powerful bankers of Florence, statesmen and leaders, were the major rivals of the Medici. Among the other ancestors must be remembered Sir Winston Churchill and Lisa Gherardini, or the Mona Lisa.
In the early 1900s, Francesco Guicciardini, husband of Luisa Strozzi and Minister of Agriculture and Foreign Affairs, made Cusona an avant-garde model company of national importance. Guicciardini Strozzi produces different types of wines and in the seventies Prince Girolamo Strozzi began marketing it around the world and still leads it together with his two daughters Natalia and Irina Jr”.
