Cosimo di Giovanni de’ Medici (27 September 1389 – 1 August 1464) was the first of the Medici political dynasty de facto rulers of Florence during much of the Italian Renaissance; also known as Cosimo ‘the Elder’ (il Vecchio) and Cosimo Pater Patriae (Latin: ‘father of the nation’). His power derived from his great wealth as a banker and he was a great patron of learning the arts and architecture.
