This article appears in Volume V07, Page 204 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORSINI , the name of a Florentine princely family, of which the founder is said to be
Neri
  Corsini, who flourished about the year 1170. Like other Florentine nobles the Corsini had at first no titles, but in more
recent
  times they received many from foreign potentates and from the later grand dukes of Tuscany. The emperor Charles IV. created the head of the
house
  a
count
 
palatine
  in 1371; the marquisate of Sismano was conferred onthem in 162o, those of Casigliano and Civitella in 1629, of Lajatico and Orciatico in 1644, of Giovagallo and Tresana in 1652; in 1730 Lorenzo Corsini was elected
pope
  as Clement XII., and conferred the rank of Roman princes and the duchy of Casigliano on his family, and in 1732 they were created grandees of Spain. They own two palaces in Florence, one of which on the Lung'
Arno
  Corsini contains the finest private picture gallery in the city, and many villas and estates in various parts of Italy.
