https://www.artlovingitaly.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/AnaMariadeMedici_StudentessaMatta2.jpg541480Anna Maria de Medici may have died with a heavy heart to be the last of the Medici line. However, despite being childless, she still very cleverly found a way to leave the world a lasting gift, thus ensuring the continuation of the Medici name. By bequeathing to the city of Florence the Medici’s immeasurable artistic heritage, she made sure that the Medici name would live on forever through the art that the family nurtured and encouraged since the time of Cosimo for generations to come.
