Antonia Malatesta of Cesena, also known as Antonia Malatesta of Rimini, was a Duchess of Milan by marriage to
Giovanni Maria Visconti. She was the Regent of Milan in the interim after the death of her spouse in 1412.
After Giovanni Maria's assassination in 1412, the succeeding Duke of Milan,
Filippo Maria Visconti, permitted Antonia to continue sharing the governance of the duchy for a few months.[5] Although she soon retired to Cesena, she retained her title, Duchess of Milan.[5]
