Luigino Bardi family history

Item — Folder: 1

Identifier: Vault MSS 491

Scope and Contents History of the Bardi family. Among other things, it documents their feud with the Soderini family with which they were bitterly antagonistic for generations. These documents tell of an unsuccessful plot to kill Piero Soderini and other actions taken between these two rival families.
