Jacopo Salviati
Jacopo Salviati (15 September 1461 – 6 September 1533) was a Florentine politician and son-in-law of Lorenzo de' Medici.
On 10 September 1486, he married Lorenzo's daughter Lucrezia de' Medici, with whom he had ten children. The son of Giovanni Salviati and Maddalena Gondi, he devoted himself to the economic affairs of the family, becoming very wealthy. He then engaged in political life. A sympathizer of Girolamo Savonarola, he signed the petition in his favour addressed to the pope in 1497. He was Prior of the Guilds of Florence in 1499 and 1518, then gonfaloniere of Justice in 1514. In 1513, he was appointed ambassador to Rome.
When his brother-in-law was elected as Pope Leo X, Jacopo benefited significantly. He was granted a salt monopoly in Romagna, and became a high officer in the Vatican treasury. He earned an income from these of 15,000 ducats each year.
He tried unsuccessfully to prevent the Siege of Florence (1529–1530), and was among the advisers of Pope Clement VII during his meeting with Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor.
In 1531, he was part of the balìa of 200 Florentine citizens charged with reforming the republican government.
He died on 6 September 1553.
His marriage to Lucrezia produced eleven children, six sons and five daughters:
