Piero di Medici, nicknamed `the Gouty`, was the father of Lorenzo the Magnificent, and unofficial ruler of Florence from 1464 to 1469. The Latin inscription on the bust records that Piero was portrayed at the age of 37. The diamond rings on the borders of his tunic are a Medici device, symbolising strength and fidelity. Mino da Fiesole , also known as Mino di Giovanni, was an Italian sculptor from Poppi, Tuscany. He is noted for his portrait busts.
