The noble Bartolini Baldelli family have it's origins in the town of Cortona around the date of 1080. During the later centuries, the members of the family moved in the towns of Arezzo and Florence, where they became official citizens in 1559 and holded important political and institutional assignments.
In 1857 Bartolommeo Bartolini Baldelli became intimate adviser of Leopod II Grand Duke of Tuscany. Was the same Grand Duke that, in the same years, gave to Bartolommeo the title of Marquise.

Antonio Bartolini Baldelli bought the estate of Montozzi with it's castle, the fields and the houses around, in 1608. In 1660 was concluded the work of extension and renovation of the castle and the surrounding village.

One century later, Francesco Maria Bartolini Baldelli enriched the castle, building on two sides of the main house,  large loggias with terracotta floors.
Around 1850, under the supervision of Bartolommeo Bartolini Baldelli was created around the castle the wonderful garden attributed to Angiolo Pucci, the Royal Botanical Gardener of the Boboli Garden in Florence.

During the same years the rich and powerful Martini family, bought the lands near the estate of Montozzi and Francesco Martini built Villa Migliarina (designed by the architect Antonio Caprilli), the surrounding garden and the chappel.
