Simonetta da Collevecchio

Simonetta da Collevecchio (Collevecchio – fl. 1534) was a domestic servant of Alfonsina Orsini, wife of Piero the Unfortunate. She was the mother of Alessandro de' Medici, Duke of Florence by either Lorenzo de' Medici, Duke of Urbino or Pope Clement VII, and has been the subject of several unfounded speculations regarding the parenthood and possible racial origin of her son.
