Giulia de' Medici

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giulia di Alessando de' Medici (ca. 1535 - ??), the illegitimate daughter of Alessandro de' Medici, Duke of Florence.

She has become somewhat famous for a portrait by Pontormo which shows Maria Salviati and a child; some scholars think that the child is Cosimo I de' Medici, but it is now generally accepted to be Giulia.

Together with her brother, Giulio, their descendants include most of the royal houses of Europe.
