		On Salvestro's death in 1388 the Albizzi repossessed them-selves of the government, and conducted the wars of the republic.
		He had joined the Albizzi in urging on this war, and many writers assert that he turned it to much pecuniary advantage by means of loans to the government and other banking operations.
		Undoubtedly the Albizzi party would have preferred a heavier sentence, but they did not dare to attempt their enemy's life, being well aware of the great number of his adherents.

		The disturbance spreading, it was told the Ricci that the Albizzi had assailed their partisans, and to the Albizzi that the Ricci were in quest of them.
		Still the parties of the Albizzi and the Ricci were continually on the alert to oppose each other's laws, deliberations, and enterprises, not from a conviction of their inexpediency, but from a hatred of their promoters.
		They, however, deprived three of the family of the Albizzi, and three of that of the Ricci, of all the offices of government, except those of the Guelphic party, for three years; and among the deprived were Piero degli Albizzi and Uguccione de' Ricci.

		The Corso, with its continuation, the Via degli Albizzi, was at one time celebrated for horse-races, in which the Florentine youth competed for a piece of cloth of gold, called the Pallio, and which gave its name to the diversion.
		The cloth, which they continued to manufacture, was spread to dry in the sun near the roof of their palace; and the iron cramps which once supported the drying apparatus, may still be seen on either side of the windows in the upper storey.
		The Albizzi were frequent winners, especially when they possessed a famous fl horse, known as the "Gran Diavolo," whose portrait, with that of his groom, is still preserved in one of the country seats of the family.

		The count was born in 1804 in Florence, Italy, son of Giuseppe Pietro Albizzi (1745-1827) and nephew of the Marquis Albizzi.
		The Albizzis were living in Hay Park in 1836 but moved to Shrewsbury, where Albizzi taught French from 1838 (or perhaps earlier) through 1841.
		Albizzi wrote to Long (7 Feb. 1842) that he had “already furnished some articles to the foreign quarterly Review, the frazer Magazine &c &c.” Some brief notices in the Foreign Quarterly at this time may be his, but a change of publishers late in 1841 already had that journal in turmoil.

		Moving to Florence (from Arezzo) in the 12th century, the Albizzi soon came to play a consistently weighty part in communal government until their exile after the ciompi revolt.
		From their return to the city in 1382, under the headship first of Maso, then from his death in 1417 of Rinaldo (1371-1442), the Albizzi became the leaders of an oligarchical régime that in many ways anticipated that of the Medici.
		Rinaldo was chiefly responsible for Cosimo de' Medici's exile in 1433 and was himself exiled with the rest of his family on Cosimo's return in 1434.

		The point is the Albizzi, or most particularly Paluire Albizzi himself, could control the “ruling levers” within Florence but he couldn’t stop the populace, the Pope nor the outside agents, e.g.
		The Albizzi’s number actually came up with the defeat of the Florentines by the Lucchesi in their attempt to “colonise” Lucca, which has already been described—a military activity that Cosimo had condemned—which condemnation was the last straw for Paluire and thus led directly to Cosimo’s banishment.
		Whilst not the man his father was, “Gouty” carried on the family’s business in a straightforward rather than spectacular manner and, for the most part, kept himself out of the public eye whenever possible—on the deathbed advice, purportedly, of his father—advice that it has already been suggested Cosimo did not adhere to.

	Amazon.com: Opera Observed: Views of a Florentine Impresario in the Early Eighteenth Century: Books: William C. Holmes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Having had access to the Albizzi archives, Holmes presents an in-depth study of the working of an impresario, showing Albizzi to possess the characteristics of a master: a love of opera and a mind for business.
		Since one of the composers with whom Albizzi corresponded was Vivaldi, a suggested accompaniment to Holmes's book is H.C. Robbins Landon's Vivaldi (LJ 7/93), which includes discussions of opera production as experienced by a composer.
		The body of this book deals with Italian opera and operatic production in the first half of the eighteenth century, and specifically with operatic production in Florence and elsewhere as it was seen through the eyes of a Florentine nobleman, Marchese Luca Casimiro degli Albizzi (5 March 1664-6 February 1745).

	Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 93000712
		A member of an illustrious Florentine family, Albizzi (1664-1745) served as one of the principal impresarios of the Pergola, Florence's earliest and greatest opera theater.
		He also carried on an active correspondence with impresarios in other cities, freely giving his advice on various economic and artistic concerns.
		Holmes uses the Albizzi family archives--the most abundant and varied material yet available about an eighteenth-century impresario and his theater--to deepen our knowledge of an extraordinary but little understood period in Italian opera.
