The chosen timeframe encompasses the two centuries of the Medici principate between the wedding of Caterina de Medici (1533) and the death of Anna Maria Luisa de Medici (1743). Protagonists of the conference are the French queens Caterina and Maria de Medici, the Grand Duchesses Eleonora di Toledo, Giovanna d&#8217;Austria, Cristina di Lorena, Maria Maddalena d&#8217;Austria and Vittoria della Rovere, the Archduchess Claudia de Medici, the Princess Violante Beatrice di Baviera and the Electress Palatine Anna Maria Luisa de Medici. The papers will examine the role of women from the Medici family at other courts as well as the cultural initiatives of the &#8222;foreign&#8220; women who became Grand Duchesses of Florence.<br \/>\nThis conference, which is <!--more-->co-sponsored by Villa I Tatti &#8211; The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies and the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz &#8211; Max-Planck-Institut, is the last in a series of three events within the framework of the collaborative research project MEFISTO (Medici-Frauen Interdisziplin\u00e4r: Soziale Rollen, kultureller Transfer, m\u00e4zenatisches \u0152uvre).
