Maddalena de' Medici (1473 – 1519) was the daughter of Lorenzo de' Medici and Clarice Orsini.[1]

Born in Florence, she was educated with her siblings to the humanistic cultures by figures such as Agnolo Poliziano.[2] In February 1487 she was engaged to be married Franceschetto Cybo, son of Pope Innocent VIII.[3] They were married January 1488, and she brought a dowry of 4000 ducats.[3] This marriage brought closer connections for her family and the Vatican, helping her brother Giovanni get appointed as a Cardinal.[3] She used her influence with her father, her brother Piero, and the Pope to help friends and poorer people get aid and positions within the church and governments.[4]

In 1488, she bought a thermal bath resort in Stigliano.[5] She had the property renovated and turned it into a profitable resort.[5]

Maddalena lived in Rome after the election of her brother Giovanni as Pope Leo X in 1513.[6] Shortly after his election, Pope Leo made her son Innocenzo a Cardinal.[6] Maddalena received Roman citizenship and a pension from her brother in 1515.[6] She worked to get all of her children married to noble families.[6] She continued in her role of patron, negotiating with Pope Leo and her nephew, Lorenzo to getclients protection, funds, and release from prison and exile.[7] She died in Rome, and was buried in St. Peter's Basilica by order of her cousin, Pope Clement VII.[citation needed]
