[After the death of his father Cosimo III. de' Medici in 1723] "... he [Gian Gastone I.] dismissed at once all the spies, hypocrites, and sycophants who had surrounded his father ... the prison doors were opened, and the prisoners [most of them under punishment for ecclesiastical offences] set at liberty. Gian Gastone mixed freely with his subjects ... [the woman at his side was not his wife Anna Maria Franziska of Saxony-Lauenburg, whom he hated, but his beloved sister-in-law Violante Beatrice of Bavaria] ... she was universally beloved ... [and] she was a zealous patroness of literature and of genius in every form, her sympathy for the poor and oppressed was continually manifested, cheerfulness followed wherever she appeared [Violante Beatrice died in 1731, after her death Gian Gastone became like in the first years of his unhappy marriage a drunkard and was no longer in the slightest interested in politics and his duties as Grand Duke of Tuscany]". (in: G. F. Young: The Medici, Vol. 2, id., pp. 486-491).
