Steeped in a thousand years of history, the medieval Castello Nipozzano has stood the test of time as a symbol of Tuscany’s cultural and spiritual heritage. Once a defensive stronghold for the city of Florence, the castle has been a property of influential families, including the Conti Guidi, Da Quona, and the Abbey of S.Fedele a Strumi. In the early 14th century, Nipozzano fell under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Florence, later becoming a cherished possession of the Albizzi family. The castle was transformed into a magnificent country residence, attracting notable artists and intellectuals, and eventually became part of the esteemed Frescobaldi family estate.
