Giuliano Dami
Giuliano Dami( 14 September 1683 – 5 April 1750) was the favourite and valet(" Aiutante di Camera") of Gian Gastone de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany( 1723 – 1737).
He is known for the" magnetic influence" he exercised on the last Medici Grand Duke of Tuscany, and for his relationship with him.
Gian Gastone de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany
Gian Gastone de' Medici (Giovanni Battista Gastone; 24 May 1671 – 9 July 1737) was the seventh and last Medicean Grand Duke of Tuscany.
He was the second son of Grand Duke Cosimo III and Marguerite Louise d'Orléans.
His sister, Electress Palatine Anna Maria Luisa, arranged his marriage to the wealthy and widowed Anna Maria Franziska of Saxe-Lauenburg in 1697.
The couple despised each other and had no children.
As Grand Prince Ferdinando, Gian Gastone's elder brother, predeceased Cosimo III, Gian Gastone succeeded his father in 1723.
His reign was marked by the reversal of his predecessor's conservative policy; he abolished taxes for poorer people, repealed penal laws which restricted Jews and discontinued public executions.
The Medici were wanting in male heirs; his father, Cosimo III, wanted the Electress Palatine to succeed Gian Gastone.
However, Spain, Great Britain, Austria and the Dutch Republic disregarded Cosimo's plan and appointed Charles of Spain—whose mother, Elisabeth Farnese, was a great-granddaughter of Margherita de' Medici—Gian Gastone's heir.
Charles later transferred his claim to Francis Stephen of Lorraine pursuant to a preliminary peace that was finalized in 1738.
Francis Stephen duly succeeded at Gian Gastone's demise, on 9 July 1737, ending almost 300 years of Medici rule over Florence.
For the latter part of his reign, Gian Gastone chose to remain confined in his bed, tended by his entourage, the "Ruspanti".
Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici
Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici( c. 1360 – February 1429) was an Italian banker and founder of the Medici Bank.
While other members of the Medici family, such as Chiarissimo di Giambuono de' Medici, who served in the Signoria of Florence in 1201, and Salvestro de' Medici, who was implicated in the Ciompi Revolt of 1378, are of historical interest, it was Giovanni's founding of the family bank that truly initiated the family's rise to power in Florence.
He was the father of Cosimo de' Medici and Lorenzo de' Medici, and an ancestor of other notable Medici rulers.
For example, he was the grandfather of Piero di Cosimo de' Medici; the great- grandfather of Lorenzo de' Medici( the Magnificent); and the great- great- great- grandfather of Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
Luisa de' Medici
Luisa de' Medici( 25 December 1476- 1488) was an Italian noble.
She was the daughter of Lorenzo de' Medici and Clarice Orsini.
She was going to marry with her fiancé Giovanni di Pierfrancesco de' Medici, but she died in 1488 at aged 11.
Countess Palatine Maria Anna of Neuburg
Maria Anna of Neuburg (Marie Anna Karoline; 30 January 1693 – 12 September 1751) was a daughter of Anna Maria, Grand Duchess of Tuscany's first marriage to Philip William August of Neuburg.
She married Duke Ferdinand Maria of Bavaria on 5 February 1719 in Reichstadt, Bohemia, a younger son of Elector Maximilian II of Bavaria.
She was still an infant when her father and older sister, Leopoldina, died within a month of one another in 1693.
Her mother, a wealthy widow, was married for a second time, against her wishes, on 2 July 1697 in Düsseldorf to Prince Gian Gastone de' Medici, a younger son of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, to whom she brought the prospect of inheriting substantial lands in Bohemia.
Rather than dwelling in her father-in-law's capital, Florence, the couple initially took up residence at his wife's Bohemian domain, the castle of Ploskovice near Reichstadt.
In less than a year Gian Gastone left his wife for Prague, thence resuming residence in Florence, and the couple never again cohabited.
Maria wed Duke Ferdinand Maria of Bavaria, who became an Imperial general, on 5 February 1719 in Reichstadt, Bohemia.
Of their three sons, all of whom bore the title "Duke of Bavaria", none married.
In 1723 Maria's stepfather became Grand Duke Gian Gastone of Tuscany, succeeding his elder brother, and her mother became Grand Duchess of Tuscany, although she never set foot in her husband's realm.
Maria Anna's husband died in 1738.
She herself died in 1751 aged 58.
Clarice de' Medici
Clarice de' Medici( 1493 – 1528) was the daughter of Piero di Lorenzo de' Medici and Alfonsina Orsini.
Born in Florence, she was the granddaughter of Lorenzo de' Medici, niece of Pope Leo X and sister to Lorenzo II de' Medici.
After her brother's premature death in 1519, she educated his daughter Catherine, the future Queen of France.
In 1508 she married Filippo Strozzi the Younger and moved to Rome.
Filippo and Clarice had ten children:
Nannina de' Medici
Nannina de' Medici( 14 February 1448 – 14 May 1493), born Lucrezia de' Medici, was the second daughter of Piero di Cosimo de' Medici and Lucrezia Tornabuoni.
She was thus the elder sister of Lorenzo de' Medici.
She married Bernardo Rucellai.
Her father's name was Piero, so she is sometimes known as Lucrezia di Piero de' Medici.
Marguerite Louise d'Orléans
Marguerite Louise d'Orléans (28 July 1645 – 17 September 1721) was a Princess of France who became Grand Duchess of Tuscany, as the wife of Grand Duke Cosimo III
de' Medici.
Libertine and unruly in conduct from an early age, her relations with her husband and his family were tempestuous and often bitter, with repeated appeals for mediation to Louis XIV.
Nevertheless, three children were born to the couple:
Grand Prince Ferdinando, Anna Maria Luisa, Electress Palatine, and Gian Gastone.
In June 1675, five years after her husband had succeeded to the Grand Duchy and four years after the birth of their youngest child, Marguerite Louise and her husband separated and she retired with a pension to a convent on the outskirts of Paris.
In France she proved little inclined to respect social conventions governing the life of a woman of her rank and proved a thorn in the side of the Tuscan authorities and the French monarchy, indulgent though it was.
In later life, she eventually adopted more conventional behaviour, took up pious works and even reformed the convent that became her second residence in the Paris suburbs.
As the years went by she suffered serious setbacks to her health and the sadness of mourning her eldest son, Grand Prince Ferdinando, for whom she had had a genuine affection.
Rendered financially independent by a legacy, she purchased a house in Paris, from which she spent the end of her life dispensing charity and keeping up dignified correspondence.
Anna Maria Franziska of Saxe-Lauenburg
Anna Maria Franziska of Saxe-Lauenburg (13 June 1672 – 15 October 1741) was the legal Duchess of Saxe-Lauenburg in the eyes of the Holy Roman Emperor, the overlord of Saxe-Lauenburg, from 1689 until 1728; however, because her distant cousin George William, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, conquered the duchy by force in 1689, she exercised no control over the territory, instead living in her manors in Bohemia.
She was Grand Duchess of Tuscany as the wife of the last Medici Grand Duke, Gian Gastone.
Anna Maria Franziska was the elder surviving daughter of Julius Franz, Duke of Saxe-Lauenburg, and Maria Hedwig of the Palatinate-Sulzbach.
She married Philipp Wilhelm August of the Palatinate in 1690, with whom she had her only child, Maria Anna, in 1691.
She was widowed in 1693.
Four years later, she married Gian Gastone de' Medici, a Prince of Tuscany.
With her brother-in-law Ferdinando de' Medici's death in 1713, her husband became Tuscany's heir-apparent.
She became Grand Duchess of Tuscany upon the incumbent ruler's death in 1723.
She was Grand Duchess for fourteen years before being widowed again in 1737.
Violante Beatrice of Bavaria
Violante Beatrice of Bavaria( Violante Beatrix; 23 January 167330 May 1731) was Grand Princess of Tuscany as the wife of Grand Prince Ferdinando of Tuscany and Governor of Siena from 1717 until her death.
Born a Duchess of Bavaria, the youngest child of Elector Ferdinand Maria, she married the heir to the Tuscan throne, Ferdinando de' Medici, in 1689.
Violante Beatrice loved him but Ferdinando did not return her affection, declaring her too ugly and too dull.
Her brother- in- law, Prince Gian Gastone, befriended her out of sympathy, a friendship that lasted until Violante Beatrice's demise.
Grand Prince Ferdinando expired from syphilis in 1713, leaving his childless widow without purpose at the Tuscan court.
Upon the return of the Electress Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, daughter of the then reigning, Cosimo III, thus Violante Beatrice's sister- in- law, the Dowager Grand Princess contemplated retiring to her brother's court at Munich; however, Gian Gastone convinced her to stay, and Cosimo III appointed her Governor of Siena, where she then resided.
As Governor, she formally defined the boundaries, names and number of Sienese" Contrade" — akin to administrative divisions — in 1729.
During Grand Duke Gian Gastone's rule, the Governor was responsible for formal court audiences.
Violante Beatrice, in collaboration with the Electress Anna Maria Luisa, attempted to withdraw Gian Gastone from the" Ruspanti", his salacious entourage, by arranging banquets and public appearances.
Gian Gastone, however, was immune to these approaches and spent the last eight years of his reign confined to bed, entertained by the myriad" Ruspanti".
