Jacopo Corsi (17 July 1561 – 29 December 1602) was an Italian composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque and one of Florence's leading patrons of the arts, after only the Medicis.

His father was an important merchant who expanded the family activities in Palermo and was also in charge of Cardinal Ferdinando I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.

In 1569, Giovanni provided important services to the Cardinal but died early in 1571, leaving Jacopo, who was only 10 years old, to be raised by his uncle Antonio with a great inheritance of 90,000 ducats.

[1] He commissioned great figurative arts such as the statue of Orpheus (Cristofano Stati), in celebration of the success of his play "Euridice", several busts of his family (Giovanni Caccini), and paintings by the most renowned artists, such as Santi di Tito, Niccolò Betti and many others.

[1] His inventory, which was written for Bardo in 1602, was one of the richest in artistic and cultural aspects, with dozens of paintings and sculptures, in addition to innovative works strictly linked to music that had been promoted exclusively by Jacopo and his circle of musicians.
