Giovanni Maria da Varano (1503-1527) was an Italian statesman, ruling Camerino as Duke starting in 1515.

Biography

He was the son of Giulio Cesare da Varano. He was married in 1520 to Caterina Cybo (1501-1557), granddaughter of Lorenzo de Medici. Together, Caterina and Giovanni Maria, had only a daughter Giulia, who in 1535 married Guidobaldo II della Rovere. The marriage was arranged by her mother Caterina. When Cesare Borgia had captured the city of Camerino, he had Giovanni assassinated along with his brothers, and his father who was the lord of Camerino.[1][2]
