Contessa Ippolita Douglas Scotti di Vigoleno, daughter of
Count Fulco Douglas Scotti,the noble commissioner of the San Giovanni neighborhood in the Corteo del Calcio Storico, was born in Florence
in 1969 and lives a stone's throw from the Duomo, in a fifteenth-century building.
She has written books of various genres and collaborated with cultural associations aimed at discovering the most unusual and hidden details of the city and its historic homes.
She has always been fascinated by the world of magic, she undertook botanical and ethological studies, which she later applied to esotericism, becoming interested in the spagyric medicine of the ancient apothecaries, the history of magic, alchemy, anthropology and the magical correlations between cosmos, plants and animals.
Ippolita has visited India (where their beautiful way of cooking is sacred like in Italy), Thailand, Laos, China, Morocco, Tunisia, Seychelles, Australia, USA, Mexico, Yemen, and all around Europe.
I've been, she writes ' a writer, a musician, an actress, and an antiques dealer—but at heart, I am a cook!'
Her spiritual path was marked by fundamental experiences among Navajo and Pueblo shamans, he also learned and refined the magical arts in Salem and with a group of Australian aborigines.
 Her Grandmother,
Contessa Maria Francesca, was a noble Sicilian lady and Ippollito now owns Villa Douglas on Vulcano Island.
