Gian Carlo de' Medici (4 July 161122 January 1663) was an Italian cardinal. He was the second son of Grand Duke Cosimo II of Tuscany and his wife, Maria Maddalena of Austria. ==Biography== Born a Prince of Tuscany, Gian Carlo was the second son and third child of Grand Duke Cosimo II and his wife, Maria Maddalena of Austria. Unlike his predecessor Urban VIII, Pope Innocent X practised cordial relations with Ferdinando II, Gian Carlo's elder brother, and thus created Gian Carlo in 1644 cardinal as a token of his affection toward the Medici.〔Young, ''The Medici: Volume II'', pp. 424425.〕 Thus forced to give up his military career and with it the title of "General of the Spanish Seas", Gian Carlo could not reconcile himself to his new "religious" lifestyle.〔Acton, Harold: ''The Last Medici'', p 46.〕 Pope Alexander VII made Gian Carlo responsible for welcoming Queen Christina of Sweden, a new convert to Roman Catholicism, to Rome in 1655.〔Acton, Harold: ''The Last Medici'', p 47.〕 Upon discovering of the closeness that had formed between the two, the Pope sent Gian Carlo back to Florence, declaring him "too handsome and too young" to be "spiritual advisor" to the Queen. Here, Gian Carlo led a life of dissipation, taking many mistresses; nevertheless, Ferdinando II delegated to him the management of the state's financial affairs.〔Acton, Harold: ''The Last Medici'', p 48.〕〔Young, ''The Medici: Volume II'', p 434.〕 In later years, Gian Carlo donated his sizeable art collection to form the Pitti Gallery.〔Young, ''The Medici: Volume II'', p 444.〕 He died of apoplexy, and was interred in the Medicean necropolis, the Basilica of San Lorenzo, Florence.〔Young, ''The Medici: Volume II'', p 452.〕
