La Quiete villa (the Quietness) named after the fresco called “La Quiete che domina i venti” painted by Giovanni from San Giovanni in 1632. Former owners were the Orlandini family, then Villa La Quiete belonged to Niccolò da Tolentino from 1438, which he was gifted of by the Republic; in 1593, it was bought by Pier Francesco dei Medici and later it was given to Cosimo I, who gave it to the commanders of the Order of Santo Stefano. As it was purchased by Christine de Lorraine in 1627, the season of greatest splendor started for the villa; when she died in 1636, grand duke Ferdinand II became her heir and granted it to Eleonora Ramirez de Montalvo.
