Bianca Capello (1548 – 1587) was a Venetian noblewoman, renowned for her beauty and intelligence, whose court intrigues were the scandal of her time. Against the will of her family, Bianca ran off and married a young Florentine named Pietro Buonaventuri. She soon became the mistress of Francesco I de’ Medici, at first secretly and then openly after the murder of her husband (1569). She succeeded in marrying Francesco (1578) using a bizarre plot in which she feigned pregnancy and presented him the baby of a common woman as her son.
