Alessandra Macinghi Strozzi (c. 1408 – March c. 1471) was a Florentine Renaissance business and noblewoman known for her preserved correspondence which chronicled her financial and political struggles in Medici Florence.[1] Strozzi was largely family oriented and worked hard to place her sons in successful banking positions and all her children beneficial marriages.[1] Seventy-three of her letters were preserved by her son Filippo and are now housed by the Archivio de Stato di Firenze.[2][3] Strozzi's letters rank among the most significant primary sources from fifteenth-century Florence.[1]
