Francesco went after Giuliano because he knew he couldn’t kill Lorenzo and after Francesco had murdered his brother he hoped it would prompt Lorenzo to have enough anger to fight him, and Francesco could end Lorenzo in ‘self-defense’. Because he couldn’t murder his friend. ...A small part of Francesco also hoped that Lorenzo might end him...

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
but also oh my god I knew about the Sins™️ but I didn’t know about Martelli’s marriage to a Pazzi….this is incredible, I am thinking thoughts, I need to turn this around in my head for a month minimum…..
also context for people who would like to know about Martelli and Lorenzo:

Who would survive in the Apocalypse? Medici Edition
Francesco Pazzi
I would say the outbreak happened when Francesco was around...14? His parents are killed in the outbreak, and Francesco takes his little brother Gugielmo and runs. Francesco runs through the chaos of their hometown, trying to get away. Francesco takes Gugielmo and goes to his family's safe house, stealing a car to get there. His family on his Uncle's side, were preppers, especially Jacopo's wife, his aunt.
Francesco and Guglielmo get to the safe house and stay held up in there for three days before Jacopo finally arrives and finds them.
So Francesco essentially grows up for a large part of his life in the Apocalypse. He of course still remembers his life before the end of the world, but he learns and adapts to the world rather quickly. Jacopo is still a harsh man, and Francesco is abused as child, molded into a weapon for Jacopo to use.
Whatever main settlements appear throughout the years, Florence being one of them, his home and home to the Medici, Francesco likes to travel between them. He actually likes to be out in the dead world, much more than he likes being cooped up within the city that he calls home.
Francesco can kill walkers, he's quite good at it, Jacopo has made sure he excels in handling any type of weapon, but in truth, Francesco simply often avoids the dead. He can weave in and out of them easily, he is quick on his feet and knows where to hide and where to go to get away from a herd.

Francesco and Clarice were friends and you can't change my mind
Clarice helping with Francesco's marriage
Francesco being Piero's godfather
Francesco shutting down ANY violence towards Clarice
They were friends.

the funniest thing about medici as a show is that the basic plot line for seasons 1 and 2 is man dealing with his father's death whilst his petty ex who also happens to be his coworker is up to his even pettier bullshit
