Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox nobility

Contessina de' Bardi (1390–October 1473Шаблон:Sfn), was an Italian noblewoman from the House of Bardi. Her marriage into the House of Medici provided her husband's family with much needed nobility, prestige, and military support as they established their power in Florence.Шаблон:Sfn

Bardi family

The Bardi family had been exceptionally rich for some time but following the collapse of the family bank in 1343, its importance was considerably reduced. They enjoyed some fame as suzerains and condottieri. The Medici called on them in this guise, on certain occasions, for armed support of the Medici's political hegemony.

Contessina's parents were Alessandro di Sozzo Bardi, count of Vernio, and Camilla Pannocchieschi, daughter of Raniero di Guido Pannochieschi, count of Elci.Шаблон:Sfn

Life

Around 1415, Contessina de' Bardi married Cosimo de' Medici Шаблон:Sfn and they went to live with his parents, Piccarda Bueri and Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici.Шаблон:Sfn Like Giovanni's marriage to Piccarda, this marriage brought noble connections to the common family of the Medici.Шаблон:Sfn Contessina was known for being careful with money and the managing of their household.Шаблон:Sfn

She survived her husband by about ten years. He died in 1464Шаблон:Sfn and she remained a point of reference for their grandchildren.Шаблон:Sfn She had a good relationship with her daughter-in-law Lucrezia Tornabuoni, and she lived with her and her son Piero after her husband's death.Шаблон:Sfn Her relationship with Piero's sons, Lorenzo di Piero di' Medici and Giuliano di Piero de' Medici, was close from their childhood and allowed her political influence as they became leaders.Шаблон:Sfn This influence included negotiating tax benefits for those she supported.Шаблон:Sfn She was also regularly involved in negotiating and approving marriages for the more important families in Florence.Шаблон:Sfn

Contessina died between 26 September and 25 October 1473.Шаблон:Sfn Her grandson Lorenzo named one of his daughters Contessina de' Medici in honor of her.
