Hi I am Cosimo de' Medici but my full name is Còsimo di Giovanni degli Mèdici. I was born in September 27, 1389 in Florence, Italy. I died in August 1, 1464. On 27 September 1389 – 1 August 1464 I was the first of the Medici political dynasty, rulers of Florence during of the Italian Renaissance I was also known as "Cosimo 'the Elder'" and "Cosimo Pater Patriae" (Latin: 'father of the nation'). My power was known for my great wealth as a banker, and I was a great patron of learning, the arts. I married Contessina de' Bardi (the daughter of Giovanni, count of Vernio, and Emilia Pannocchieschi). I had two sons: Piero the Gouty and Giovanni de' Medici. I also had an handsome son, Carlo de' Medici (1430-1492) a Circassian slave, who became a jelouse.On my death in 1464 at Careggi, I was succeeded by my son Piero "the Gouty", father of Lorenzo the Magnificent or Il Magnifico. After my death the Signoria awarded me the title Pater Patriae, "Father of his Country", an honor once awarded to Cicero, and had it carved upon my tomb in the Church of San Lorenzo.
