Lucrezia Donati (Florence, Italy; 1447-ibidem, 1501) was an Italian noblewoman, mistress of Lorenzo de' Medici.[1]
The identity of the woman in the sculpture Dama col mazzolino, at Bargello Museum in Florence could be attributed to Lucrezia Donati.[2][3][4][5][6] Also Sandro Botticelli's painting Fortitude would be another representation of her.[7][8]
