From the Monticello website:

Anthony (Antonio) Giannini, of Fibbialla, came with Philip Mazzei to Virginia in 1773 with his wife and child. Indentured for five years, he worked in the vineyards and orchards Mazzei established at Colle, adjoining Monticello. Giannini worked for Thomas Jefferson from March 1778 to the end of 1782. Thereafter he was occasionally employed for special skilled tasks.

Some of his activities included collecting seeds for Jefferson's friends in France, planting grape vines in the vineyard, and grafting in the Monticello orchards. Giannini bought land in Albemarle County, where he raised a large family. He has many descendants in the Albemarle area and elsewhere. A number of letters between Jefferson and Giannini survive.
