[en] Cosimo I de’ Medici played a crucial role in the promotion of arts and letters during the mid-sixteenthcentury in Florence. The Duke had a genuine interest in them, but he was also aware of their importancefor propaganda and promoted the constitution of the
Accademia Fiorentina
and
Accademia del disegno
incelebration of himself and his power. But the two academies were not just the consequence of the
Duke’s
strategy, but were significant meeting places for writers and artists where solid friendships were formed,founded on cultural and human affinities. This paper will examine some of these relationships, with afocus on Benedetto Varchi. It will also shed light on the positioning of artists, such as Agnolo Bronzinoand Benvenuto Cellini, within the humanist network of the city.
