Salviati is the name of an Italian noble family from Florence , which died out in the male line in 1794.

A connection with the Salviati family, who immigrated to Prussia in 1740 and were ennobled in 1830, cannot be proven.

history

The family is partly traced back to a Gottifredo in the 12th century, but appears for the first time with certainty in 1335 with Cambio di Salvi , Prior and Gonfaloniere in Florence. At that time the Salviati owned a family tower in Badia Fiorentina , where the Salviatino district was named after them. Like most of the patricians of Florence, they became wealthy through trade and banking. Over the centuries they provided 63 priories, 21 gonfaloniers of the judiciary and 6 high prelates. With the marriage of Jacopo Salviati (1461–1533) with Lucrezia de 'Medici , daughter of Lorenzo the Magnificent and sister of Pope Leo X , they came into the family circle of the Medici . Nevertheless, they opposed the absolutism of Cosimo I de 'Medici , although his mother Maria Salviati was a daughter of Jacopo and Lucrezia. Later they approached the Medici again.

Possessions

In 1456 Jacopo acquired the Palazzo Portinari-Salviati in Florence, another early family seat was the Palazzo Salviati-Quaratesi. Bernard Salviati acquired Talcy Castle in France in 1517 . In 1531 Alamanno di Averardo Salviati acquired the Villa Il Salviatino in Fiesole . The family also owned a palazzo in Pisa. Alamanno Salviati (1669–1733) had the Villa Salviati built outside of Florence. For a long time, however, the headquarters were in today's Palazzo Borghese in Florence.

With the marriage of the last Salviati, Anna Maria, the sister of Cardinal Gregorio Antonio Maria Salviati , with Marcantonio IV. Borghese (1730-1800), the family fortune passed on to this family. Her son Camillo Filippo Ludovico Borghese (1775-1832), Prince of Sulmona and Rossano, was the husband of Pauline Bonaparte and brother-in-law of Napoleon I. He had the Palazzo Salviati in Florence redesigned in a classical style. He was inherited by his brother Francesco (1776–1839), whose eldest son Marcantonio succeeded as Prince Borghese, whose second son Camillo received the title of Prince Aldobrandini and whose third son Scipione Borghese (1823–1892) was promoted to Duca Salviati in 1834 ; the ducal title is now held by Don Forese Antonino Duca Salviati (* 1927), heir is his son Lorenzo (* 1957). A branch of the Corsi family also called itself Corsi Salviati .

The Salviati burial chapel is in San Marco (Florence) , which was decorated by Giambologna and Passignano , among others .
