Antonio Maria Salviati

Antonio Maria Salviati (21 January 1537 – 26 April 1602) was a Florentine Roman Catholic cardinal.

His grandmother was Lucrezia de' Medici, sister of pope Leo X and eldest daughter of Lorenzo il Magnifico.

In 1561 he was appointed as bishop of Saint-Papoul in France, and later was apostolic nuncio in the same country.

In Rome, he refounded the Arcispedale of San Giacomo degli Incurabili (rebuilding the annexed baroque-style Church of San Giacomo in Augusta) and founded the Collegio Salviati at his own expense at the end of 16th century, then he gifted them to the city of Rome.

It is notable that Salviati planned a long-term (in his will, forever) financial sustainability of the San Giacomo thanks to the donation from him of a rich property fund.
