Angelo Acciaioli (bishop)

Angelo Acciaioli (1298 – October 4, 1357) was an Italian Roman Catholic bishop from Florence.

In 1355 he accepted the office of bishop of Monte Cassino in order to be closer to his new residence in Naples, where he lived for fourteen years.. At the beginning of his episcopate he was at the head of a group of plotters against the tyrannical Duke of Athens and dominated the city for a few years after his expulsion.

He was also a diplomat who was sent three times by the Florentine Republic as legate to the papal court at Avignon in 1344, 1348 and 1351.

In 1349 he was appointed Registrar and Chancellor of the kingdom by King Louis I and Queen Joan I.

Angelo and his cousin Niccolò Acciaioli were the founders of the ambitious Florence Charterhouse at Galluzzo.
