Villa for sale in San Casciano, Florence, Tuscany, Italy

The present villa dates back to the 15th century but has its origins in medieval times when it belonged to a Guelph family.
In 1560 it was purchased by the Gianfigliazzi family.
In the 18th century it housed the precious Vassari archives and subsequently a collection of Napoleonic memorabilia when it was owned by a relative of the Emperor.
