	Piero di Cosimo de' Medici - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Piero de' Medici (the Gouty), Italian Piero "il Gottoso" (1416 – December 2, 1469), was the de facto ruler of Florence from 1464 to 1469, during the Italian Renaissance.
		Piero was warned by Giovanni Bentivoglio, and was able to escape the coup, in part because his son Lorenzo discovered a road-block set up by the conspirators to capture his father; he was not recognized, and was able to warn his father.
		He died in 1469, due to gout and lung disease, and is buried in the Church of San Lorenzo, next to his brother Giovanni; their tombs are decorated with a statue by Verrocchio commissioned by his sons Lorenzo and Giuliano.

	Summer Institute 2004
		Cosimo de’ Medici, his son Piero, and grandson Lorenzo, were generally successful in navigating treacherous political waters and achieved the kind of stability that protected Florence’s external independence.
		Medici control of Florence was based on a combination of thuggery and nuance, all linked to Florentine traditions that had been established during the previous century’s “Golden Age” of republicanism.
		The Medici established an omnipresent imagery of the “state” as free and responsible to the populace, but this was actually an abstract edifice fashioned to celebrate “public sovereignty” when in fact political decisions were closely held by the Medici in association or in competition with other elite Florentine families.

		The Medici policy was always aimed at encouraging democratic aspirations, but the basic intention of the family was to turn those aspirations to their own advantage and to exploit them into their own interest.
		Cosimo's court was like that of his immediate successors a gathering of artists and scholars, whose works were among the most prized possessions of the family and the city - figures of stature of Donatello, Brunelleschi, Domenico Veneziano; or of Poliziano, Vespasiano da Bisticci, Platina, and Pico della Mirandola.
		Cosimo's successor was Piero, later called Piero the Gouty, a shy reserved man given to study, meditation and the cultivation of beauty in its most intelligent forms.

	Three Worlds of Michelangelo
		Piero's chancellor, the severe and humorless Piero Dovizi da Bibbiena, who had earlier served Lorenzo, responded on behalf of his benefactor, suggesting that Michelangelo must have lost his mind.
		Predictably, Piero de' Medici paid no heed to the warning transmitted by Michelangelo, just as his brother Cardinal Giovanni's advice shortly after their father's death to be "beneficent, liberal, affable, and humane" fell on deaf ears.
		The Medici did not remain in Bologna for long, opting to reside in Venice, as their ancestor and the effective founder of Medici power, Cosimo, had done earlier in the century when exiled.

	Procession of the Magi in the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi in Florence (1459-60)
		The chapel, in the first floor of the Medicis' private residence, was built by Michelozzo di Bartolomeo between 1446 and 1449 and dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
		The ceiling is decorated by a diamond-pointed ring in a halo with a loop that bears the motto of Piero de' Medici, semper, and within it inside a glory the monogram of Christ, JHS, as used for St Bernardino of Siena.
		It was probably Piero de' Medici who suggested that the artist should use Gentile da Fabriano's Adoration of the Magi as a model for the frescoes.

	Piero di Cosimo Information
		The son of a Florentine goldsmith, Piero was born in Florence and apprenticed under the artist Cosimo Rosseli, from whom he derived his popular name and whom he assisted in the painting of the Sistine Chapel in 1481.
		According to Vasari Piero excelled in designing pageants and triumphal processions for the pleasure-loving youths of Florence, and gives a vivid description of one such procession at the end of the carnival of 1507, which illustrated the triumph of death.
		Piero di Cosimo exercised considerable influence upon his fellow pupils Albertinelli and Bartolomeo della Porta, and was the master of Andrea del Sarto.

	[No title]
		Piero could be seen, perhaps, as the first of the hereditary Medici, in terms of being the pre-eminent family/person in Florence; for the Florentines as mentioned, posthumously—but also in some haste—adopted Cosimo as “Pater Patriae,” so it became a natural consequence that his only surviving son should assume his position.
		Her brother was taken into the Medici business, in a senior capacity of course, but he was not one of the great successes as a business-man and is attributed with much of the blame for the consequent demise of the bank.
		When she died in 1482 some 13 years after her husband, Lorenzo was more than a little distraught and indeed the consequent lack of her down-to-earth common sense and guidance may well be part of the reason for the trauma of the last ten years of his life.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Francesco Guicciardini
		For a while, Guicciardini kept on terms with the restored republican government of Florence; but, at the beginning of the siege, he joined the pope, and was declared a rebel by the democratic party.
		On the surrender of Florence to the papal and imperial armies, he returned to the city (Sept., 1530), was made a member of the Eight (Otto di pratica), and became one of the chief agents in the subjugation of the state to the Medicean rule.
		After the murder of Alessandro, he played the chief part in securing the succession of Cosimo de'Medici (1537); but fell into disfavour when he attempted to check the new duke's absolutism by giving the government an oligarchical complexion.

		Just at that time the wife of Francesco Tornabuoni died, and the husband, who had loved her much, desired to set up a monument to her honour, and entrusted it to Andrea, who carved upon it the death of the lady and three figures of Virtues, which brought him much praise.
		To this Piero was born after Lionardo another son, Bartolommeo, who remained at Vinci, and when he was come to years of discretion, took to wife one of the first ladies of the town.
		Piero, then, as he grew was taught his letters by his father, but without a master he set himself to draw and to make little figures of clay, so Bartolommeo trusted that his prayer had been heard and his brother given back to him in his son.

		Mention of slaves, who presumably had served Cosimo and his household came as something of a surprise, although the existence of slavery in fourteenth and fifteenth century Florence is hardly a secret.
		Cosimo, to be sure, was supposed to have had relations with a slave woman which resulted in the birth of a son, Carlo de' Medici, who was to have a distinguished career as a prelate, mainly in Prato.

		However, Caterina grew to be an old woman, remaining in the vicinity of the village of Vinci, and there is some speculation that in 1493 she came to live her final two or three years with her son.
