EspañolFILIPPO STROZZI THE ELDER
'Filippo Strozzi the Elder' (July 4, 1428 - May 14, 1491) was an Italian banker and statesman, a member of the rich Strozzi family of Florence.
He was born in Florence to Matteo Strozzi and Alessandra Macinghi. He was banned by the Medici as a young man, together with all his family, due to the opposition of Palla Strozzi against Cosimo de' Medici. He moved to Naples, and here he gained a renowned status as a banker.
Returned in Florence, he commissioned Benedetto da Maiano for the construction of the famous family palace; however, he died before the completion of the works, in 1534. He also had Maiano, along with Filippino Lippi, build a notable chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella. Completed in 1502, it houses Strozzi's remains.
He married two times. With Fiammetta Adimari (1466), who gave him five children:
★ Maria
★ Fiammetta
★ Giambattista (d. 1484)
★ Alfonso (d. 1534)
★ Alessandro (1471-1473)
and with Salvaggia Gianfigliazzi (1477), who gave him:
★ Lorenzo (1482-1549), who founded the line of the Princes of Forano
★ Giambattista Strozzi (d. 1538), husband of Clarice de' Medici, best known as Filippo Strozzi the Younger.
