Memorial for Lelio Sozini and Fausto Sozzini in the Sozini Palace in Siena.

Sozzini is an Italian noble family originally from Siena in Tuscany, where the family were noted as bankers and merchants, jurists and humanist scholars. The family has been described as "the most famous legal dynasty of the Renaissance."

Mariano Sozzini

The family in Italy includes the jurist Mariano Sozzini, his sons including Celso, Cornelio, Camillo and the theologian Lelio Sozzini and his nephew Fausto Sozzini, for whom Socinianism is named.

The family ruled Siena from 1050 - 1345 where they became bankrupt after several unsecured loans to the King Edward 3 of England to pay for the Hundred Years War.
