History

Some sources would trace the Salviati family back to a progenitor named Gottifredo who lived in the 12th century , but the first historically ascertained figure member of the family was Cambio di Salvi, who occupied both positions of gonfalonieri and priori. After him, there were twenty Salviati members who were gonfalonieri and sixty-two who occupied the position of priori.
