Villa Pozzolo is a beautiful historic villa situated in the scenic town of Montaione, Tuscany, Italy. Around 2000 years ago, at the place, where Villa Pozzolo is now the Romans build a villa connected to the Roman aqueduct. The grand-duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III, gave his friend a young poet Vincenzo da Filicaja  a huge area around Villa Pozzolo. The family of Vincenzo da Filicaja did buy and build lots of castles and villas on this land. Vincenzo da Filicaja (30 December 1642 – 24 September 1707) was a Tuscan poet and politician. His poetry was compared to that of Petrarch, and his association with the Accademia della Crusca gave him access to royal patronage. He served as governor of Volterra and Pisa, successively, and finally in the Tuscan Senate.
