Patronage

In 1520, Pope Leo X asked her to help support convents in Florence.[3] She paid for a significant expansion of the convent of San Giorgio, funding new dormitories, cloisters, and workshops.[3] She built other chapels in 1530 in Rome.[3] She and Giovanni later worked together to pay for a chapel in Rome which would also serve as a resting place for the family.[3] In November 1520, she exchanged messages with Filippo Nerli and Niccolò Machiavelli about editing a biography of Alexander the Great.[4] She was a patron of Girolamo Benivieni.[5] Together, she and Benivieni petitioned her brother Pope Leo X to support their effort to bring the body of Dante Alighieri to his home town of Florence.[5]
