Who is Bernadetto de' Medici?

Bernadetto de' Medici was an Italian patrician who moved from Florence to Naples.

A member to a secondary branch of the Medici Family, he was the son of Ottaviano de' Medici and Bartolomeo Giugni. In 1559 he married Giulia de' Medici, the illegitimate daughter of Duke Alessandro de' Medici by Taddea Malespina.

In 1567 he bought the signiory of Ottaiano in the Kingdom of Naples, and moved there, probably due to strife with Grand Duke Cosimo I. He died in Naples after 1576.

His son Alessandro was Lord of Ottaiano and General of the Papal States. His descendants unsuccessfully claimed the title of Grand Duke of Tuscany after the extinction of the main branch of the Medici.
