One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Tollinchi can be found in a collection of medieval documents from the city of Florence, where a certain Guido Tollinchi is mentioned as a stonemason working on the construction of the iconic Basilica di Santa Croce in the year 1294.

The most notable figure was Benedetto Tollinchi (1481-1559), a renowned Florentine sculptor who created several masterpieces, including the marble statue of St. John the Baptist, which adorns the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence.

In the 17th century, a branch of the Tollinchi family settled in the northern Italian region of Lombardy, where they established themselves as landowners and viticulturists. One notable figure from this era was Girolamo Tollinchi (1612-1678), a successful winemaker whose vineyards in the Valtellina Valley produced some of the finest wines of the time.
