Borgo de Medici translates to "Village of the Medici Family"

The History
The Medici family ruled the city of Florence in the region of Tuscany from 1433 until 1756. Every time a Tuscan village or town was conquered by the Florentine Army, a stone stamp marker with the Medici House symbol was put in evidence on the wall of the town or on the city hall building and the village became officially a “Borgo de’ Medici”. The Medici family had a major influence on the growth of the Italian Renaissance through their patronage and support of the arts, the humanities and the development of modern Italian cuisine.
