Medici

The dynasty that shaped Florence's history

The Medici family, hailing from Florence, revolutionised European banking in the 14th century, amassing wealth that underpinned their political dominance and their extraordinary patronage of the arts. Their financial and political acumen fuelled the Renaissance, a golden age of creativity and intellectual growth.

As patrons, they championed artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, commissioning countless works now housed in globally renowned sites like the Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace. Their legacy in the arts is a testament to their dedication to cultural prosperity.

Their influence reached into the Catholic Church, giving rise to four Medici popes and extending their reach across Europe. Additionally, Catherine de' Medici, through her marriage to King Henry II, wielded significant influence over the French court, demonstrating the family's international sway.

Their commitment to scientific advancement, as seen in their sponsorship of Galileo Galilei, paired with their artistic patronage, makes the Medici name synonymous with innovation, excellence, and an enduring legacy.
