The Salviati family was an important Italian noble family in the Republic of Florence.[1]
History
Some sources trace the origins of the family to a Gottifredo who lived in Florence in the twelfth century.[2] The first documented member of the family is Cambio di Salvi, who in 1335 was among both the gonfalonieri and the priori.[2] In all, twenty members were gonfaloniere and sixty-two occupied the position of priore.[2]
