Gian Maria Visconti.

Gian Maria or Giovanni Maria Visconti (September 7, 1388 – May 16, 1412) was the second Visconti Duke of Milan, the son of Gian Galeazzo Visconti. Gian Maria, who inherited his father's cruelty, proved, unlike his father, to be a dissolute and ineffective ruler, and was assassinated by a party of Milanese Ghibellines after ten years of rule.

In 1408 Gian Maria had married Antonia Malatesta, daughter of Carlo I Malatesta, ruler of Rimini.
