After being enlarged by the Cocchi family (Antonio was the curator of the botanical gardens in Florence) and enriched with a beautiful English style garden including ornamental trees of rare species, Renaissance stone caves, fountains and a spectacular Limonaia (Orangerie), it belonged to the Gordigiani family (Michele was the "painter of great queens") and to Mendelssohn (Robert was the grandson of the famous Felix). Striano thus became "the Villa of art and music" and many artists of undisputed fame came here to enjoy the intimacy of this very special place. Even today, guests of Striano can go back in time and enjoy the Villa tranquillity and splendor with the possibility to arrange any type of event, from civil or religious ceremonies to unique receptions and unforgettable experiences within the many elegant rooms and gardens which can host events for up to 300 guests inside and 500 guests outside.
