This manuscript mentions a Florentine merchant named Giovanni di Ginorio, who was involved in the trade between Italy and the Americas.

The most notable member of this family was Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori, who was born in 1701 and played a significant role in the development of the Doccia porcelain manufactory, which became renowned for its exceptional quality.
