Biography

He was sent in 1433 as ambassador to Venice. In 1434 he was at the side of his father Rinaldo to oppose at the return of the exiled Cosimo de' Medici, but they failed.

After the restoration of the Medici ruleship, Rinaldo degli Albizi was exiled and Ormanno two years later was declared a rebel, experiencing exile in Trapani. In the same year he was in Milan at the court of Filippo Maria Visconti to incite him against the Florentines and served under the Visconti insignia until the battle of Anghiari, lost by Milan. He spent a few years at the Gonzaga court in Mantua before moving to Gaeta with King Alfonso V of Aragon. He sent ambassadors to Florence in 1455 and 1457 with the intention to obtain permission to return, but Cosimo de' Medici was adamant in confirming his exile. From 1457 there was no more news of him.

Ormanno married in 1420 Leonarda Frescobaldi. They had six children, five sons and a daughter:

  • Bartolomeo (died c.1461)
  • Piero (born 1423)
