"The Medici were not loved; they were feared. The assassins aimed at the fear factor, hoping that the Florentines would conclude that they were not invincible and would flock to the Pazzi banner. Their mistake was to underestimate the raw courage of Lorenzo, who survived their attack, and to kill Giuliano, who might have been able to lead a successful defense." - Paul Strathern, "The Medici: Power, Money, and Ambition in the Italian Renaissance"
The assassination of Giuliano de' Medici was mentioned in several primary sources from the time period, including contemporary chronicles and letters. One of the most important primary sources is the "Diary of Luca Landucci," a Florentine wool merchant who witnessed the events of the Pazzi conspiracy and recorded them in his diary. Landucci's diary provides a detailed and vivid account of the conspiracy and the events leading up to the assassination of Giuliano de' Medici.
Other primary sources that mention the assassination of Giuliano de' Medici include the letters of the Medici family, particularly those of Lorenzo de' Medici and his mother, Lucrezia Tornabuoni. These letters provide insights into the personal reactions of the Medici family to the events of the conspiracy and the death of Giuliano.
It was also a significant event in the history of Florence, as it marked the beginning of a period of political instability and violence known as the "War of the Eight Saints." In the aftermath of the conspiracy, the Medici family consolidated their power and launched a ruthless campaign of revenge against their enemies, which included the execution of many of the conspirators and their supporters.
"The Pazzi conspiracy was a daring and ambitious plot that ultimately failed, but not before claiming the life of one of Florence's most beloved sons. Giuliano de' Medici was a true Renaissance prince, cultured, handsome, and beloved by all who knew him. His death was a tragedy for Florence and a blow to the cause of humanism and progress in Italy." - Christopher Hibbert, "The House of Medici: Its Rise and Fall"

Watching the second season of Medici on Netflix and Matteo Martari (a.k.a. Francesco de' Pazzi from that show) has SUCH book!Darkling energy. (I haven't read the book, but I got the gist from the Darkling apologist fam.)
This guy?
Tumblr media
Yeah, I haven't watched it yet, and although it's on my list, I don't really enjoy watching stuff rn...
@anyone here, who read the books and watched this ☝️ show?
(My knowledge of this guy as a historical figure comes mostly from Hannibal. xD )

Cosimo de’ Medici is the kind of partner who pays too much attention to his work and not enough to his partner and has to be dragged away otherwise he’s just gonna forget there’s anything else
Lorenzo ‘Il Magnifico’ de’ Medici is the kind of partner who will need to be told to actually do his work because he’s been too distracted by his partner and doesn’t care about doing his actual job
Both Rinaldo and Francesco get frustrated by Medici Antics™️

i don't think i will ever get over how chaotic the dinner scene from medici 2x05 is... you have francesco showing up late with the bank documents lorenzo has asked him to get but of course he's already on his uncle's side so the next thing you know he's giving his speech, his ecposé, like an absolute icon while being totally right, sets said documents on fire and drops them on lorenzo's plate with half-eaten meal because out of the sudden bianca starts giving birth. this is peak comedy and peak tragedy

Fool's Gold
by: markantonys | word count : 13573 | AO3 | chapters: 3/3 | rating : mature
Summary:
Francesco starts dating Lorenzo purely out of a desire to use him to dig up dirt on the Medici bank. But he doesn't count on his heart getting involved.

Review : 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜
Oh but the happiness that gave me after reading this fic. It has everything I love and it's still a great fic. Even though it's a modern times au, the characters are very much in character and if you've seen the series you won't find it too strange, that they are in a modern world. Lorenzo is the same cuty in love, and Francesco is the same mean bisexual as always. They are very cute in their characterisation and the people around them are also magnificently well written. I loved their romance and how it started, it has awkward moments between them that are pure entertainment juice. So for this ship that is so scarce in works this is ones of the best I've come in contact with. I highly recommend it.

ALSO a Pazzi woman married Braccio Martelli which makes me scream because Lorenzo CANONICALLY did SINS with said Braccio
shshdh I LOVE that phrasing so much
Tumblr media
