Does Cosimo Love Contessina?

The role of Contessina de' Bardi
Contessina was indeed the wife of Cosimo; she came from a noble but impoverished family. Although it was an arranged marriage and Cosimo and Contessina did not marry out of love, they still had a very good and loving relationship that produced two sons, Piero and Giovanni.

Who did Cosimo love?

The love affair between Cosimo and Eleonora quickly cooled, and by 1567 she was forced to marry the dishonored nobleman Carlo Panciatichi. Cosimo meanwhile latched on to an affair with another young woman, Camilla Martelli.

What happens to Cosimo and contessina?

Around 1415, Contessina de' Bardi married Cosimo de' Medici and they went to live with his parents, Piccarda Bueri and Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici. Like Giovanni's marriage to Piccarda, this marriage brought noble connections to the common family of the Medici.
