Andrea dei Mozzi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Andrea de' Mozzi)

Andrea dei Mozzi (died 1296) was an Italian bishop, from the Mozzi family of bankers. He was a papal chaplain, for Pope Alexander IV and Pope Gregory IX.[1] He was then appointed as Archbishop of Florence in 1287. He was transferred by Pope Boniface VIII to Vicenza, in 1295, in a scandal that made him a character in Dante's The Inferno.[2]

He had a nephew of the same name.[3]
