The Castle of Verrazzano (Italian: Castello di Verrazzano) is located about a mile from the center of Greve in Chianti in Tuscany, Italy, and sits on a mountain spur above the River Greve.

The castle dates back to an Etruscan, and then Roman, settlement. The Verrazzano family held the castle for centuries and the navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano is said to have been born there in 1485.

The last Verrazzano died in 1819, and the property passed through various wealthy Florentine families before coming to the Cappellini family in 1958.
