Bellosguardo - such a special charm, an informal atmosphere, relaxing. Guests become mesmerized by its intimacy. Traces of history everywhere, traces which reveal how countless famous people were caught by Bellosguardo's spell. Many owners follow: the Capponis, the Medicis, the Michelozzi and lastly Amerigo Franchetti, the present owner. In 1913 Baroness Marion Hornstein (widow of Baron Giorgio Franchetti) bought the Torre. She loved entertaining friends, who often stayed on as paying guests. From 1920 to 1948 she kept a visiting book full of affectionate messages from numerous members of the European aristocracy, from musicians, from artists as well as German and Allied generals who in turn occupied the building during the last war.
