    Who was called "la duchessina" by the people of Florence?

    Question #102598. Asked by author. (Jan 27 09 1:08 AM)


    BRY2K

    		Catherine de' Medici.

    Catherine was first cared for by her grandmother, Alfonsina Orsini. After Alfonsina died in 1520, Catherine was brought up with her cousins by her aunt, Clarissa Strozzi. The death of Pope Leo in 1521 interrupted Medici power briefly, until Cardinal Giulio de' Medici was elected Pope Clement VII in 1523. Clement housed Catherine in the Palazzo Medici in Florence, where she lived in state. The Florentine people called her "duchessina", the little duchess.
