STROZZI

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 1043 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STROZZI , the name of an ancient and noble Florentine family, which was already famous in the 14th
century
 . Palla Strozzi (1372-1462) played an important
part
  in the public
life
  of Florence, and founded the first public library in Florence in the monastery of Santa Trinita. Filippo Strozzi it Vecchio (1426-1491), son of Matteo and of Alessandra Macinghi, a famous literary woman, began to build the beautiful Strozzi palace in Florence. More celebrated was another Filippo Strozzi (1488-1538), who, although married to a Medici, opposed the hegemony of that
house
  and was one of the leaders of the rising of 1527. On the final overthrow of the republic in 1530 Alessandro de' Medici attempted to win over Filippo Strozzi, but Strozzi had no faith in the
tyrant
  and retired to Venice. After the murder of Alessandro he undertook the leadership of a band of republican exiles with the
object
  of re-entering the city (1537); but having been defeated and captured and put to the torture, he committed suicide. His son Leone (1515-1554) was a distinguished
admiral
  in the service of France and fought against the Medici; he died of a wound received while attacking Sarlino. Another Filippo (1541-1582) served in the French army, and was captured and killed by the Spaniards. Senator Carlo Strozzi (1587-1671) formed an important library and collected a valuable miscellany known as the Carle Strozziane, of which the most important
part
  is now in the state archives of Florence; he was the author of a Storietta della cilia di Firenze dal 1279 at 1292 (unpublished) and a Storia
delta
  casa Barberini (Rome, 1640). The Strozzi acquired by
marriage
  the titles of princes of Forano, dukes of Bagnolo, &c. The Strozzi palace, which belonged to the family until 1907, was bequeathed by will to the Italian nation.
