The Salviati were a prominent Florentine family. Members of the family frequently occupied public positions; there were 20 Salviati gonfalonieri and 62 priori. The first recorded member of the family is Cambio di Salvi, who occupied both positions.

Francesco Salviati, archbishop of Pisa, was hanged from the walls of the Palazzo della Signoria in 1478 for his part in the Pazzi Conspiracy.

Cassandre Salviati, daughter of Bernardo Salviati (who moved in France with Catherine de' Medici and owned Château de Talcy) was the muse of poet Pierre de Ronsard, and her niece, Diane Salviati - of poet Agrippa d'Aubigné.

The last branch of this family still living is represented by the family Mugnaioni Montegiustia dei Salviati.
