Career
A member to a secondary branch of the Medici Family (the one later called of the Princes of Ottaiano), he was the son of Ottaviano de" Medici and Bartolomeo Giugni. In 1567 he bought the signiory of Ottaiano in the Kingdom of Naples, and moved there, probably due to strife with Grand Duke Cosimo I. He died in Naples after 1576. His descendants unsuccessfully claimed the title of Grand Duke of Tuscany after the extinction of the main branch of the Medici.
