Gian Giacomo Trivulzio was an Italian aristocrat, statesman, and condottiero who played a prominent role during the Italian Wars. Originally serving the Duchy of Milan, he later became a leading military commander for Louis XII of France, contributing significantly to the French conquest of Milan in 1499, after which he was appointed Governor of the city and awarded the title of Marshal of France. Trivulzio is also remembered for his pragmatic view on warfare, famously stating that "to carry on war, three things are necessary: money, money, and yet more money."
