Antonmaria Salviati (also Anton Maria Salviati or Antonio Maria Salviati ; born January 21, 1537 in Florence , † April 16, 1602 in Rome ) was an Italian cardinal of the Roman Church .

Life

Origin and early years

He came from the Florentine patrician dynasty of the Salviati and was the son of Lorenzo Salviati (1492–1539) and his wife Costanza Conti . His great-uncle was Pope Leo X , a brother of his grandmother Lucrezia di Lorenzo de 'Medici ; the cardinals Giovanni Salviati and Bernardo Salviati were Antonmaria Salviati's uncles. Following the example of these two, he entered the clergy in 1555.

Little is known about Salvati's educational path. Pierre Hurtubise thinks it is conceivable that he was under the tutelage of his uncle Cardinal Giovanni Salviati after the early death of his father († July 16, 1539 in Ferrara). In 1552, fifteen-year-old Antonio Maria lived with his two years older brother Gian Battista in the Palazzo Della Rovere , his uncle's residence.

There is no evidence of studies, but it is certain that Antonio Maria Salviati returned to Rome between 1563 and 1565, accompanied by a certain Dottore Mazzinghi, where his younger uncle Cardinal Bernardo Salviati became his mentor.
