    0.02 sec.

Acciaiuoli, Niccolò (1310–1365)

Italian banker and statesman. A member of the Acciaiuoli family, he left Florence in 1331 to settle in Naples, where he managed the financial affairs of King Robert. In 1348 he became grand seneschal (governor) and virtual ruler of Naples under Queen Joannna I.

In 1342 he founded the Certosa del Galluzzo (a Carthusian monastery) near Florence. His nephew, Ranieri Acciaiuoli (died 1394) moved to Greece, establishing a branch of the family bank in Athens in 1388.
