Niccolò Acciaiuoli (1310-1365), rampollo di una potente famiglia fiorentina di uomini d'affari (e poi di alti prelati), amico di gioventù di Giovanni Boccaccio, fu Gran Siniscalco del regno di Napoli.Durante il regno di Giovanna d'Angiò, fu al centro di una rete politico-diplomatica e culturale di respiro italiano se non addirittura mediterraneo. Tuttavia, la notorietà del personaggio, più che alla sua straordinaria carriera di mercante e di spregiudicato tessitore di alleanze internazionali, è certamente legata alla fondazione di un immenso monastero certosino, costruito nei pressi del borgo del Galluzzo.La Certosa, nella cui cripta diversi esponenti della consorteria vennero seppelliti in sontuosi e raffinatissimi sepolcri, sarebbe rimasta sotto il patronato degli Acciaiuoli per secoli. Come affermò proprio Boccaccio, «cercare con edifici perpetua fama» era stato uno degli obiettivi ultimi di messer Niccolò.
