Her very affectionate father, Lorenzo il Magnifico de' Medici, wrote the following letter to her, when she was 10 years old: "Dear little Contessina, I am writing to tell you that, thank God, I am very well and have been getting better ever since I left. These regular baths are doing me a lot of good ... Be nice to Alfonsina [the wife of Contessina's eldest brother Piero] and keep her company; tell her from me to take great care of the baby [Cosimo], I hear that Monsignore [Contessina's brother Giovanni] and the other children have gone away. It is naughty of them to leave you alone, but I shall be back soon and stay with you and they can stay at the villa as long as they like. Spedaletto, July 31st, 1489."
