Donato Acciaiuoli (il Vecchio)

Donato Acciaiuoli, called il Vecchio to distinguish him from a later namesake, was a Florentine statesman and son of Tommaso Acciaiuoli. He served repeatedly as a priore di Libertà, as a councillor of merchants and among the Dodici Buonomini, and in 1325 was captain of the Florentine militia and an envoy to Naples.

In 1331 he was gonfaloniere di compagnia, and in 1328 he helped reorganise Florence's government. He went on further embassies to Bologna in 1332 and Naples in 1333.

He died in 1335 and was buried in Santi Apostoli. By Taggia Biliotti he left sons Jacopo, Gherardo and Angelo.
