	Station Information - Lorenzo de' Medici
		Lorenzo di Piero de' Medici (January 1, 1449 - 8 April, 1492), Italian statesman and de facto ruler of the Florentine Republic during the height of the Italian Renaissance.
		Lorenzo's support for artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Andrea del Verrocchio and Michelangelo Buonarroti was instrumental in the development of Florence as the epicenter of 15th century Renaissance Europe.
		Another Medici, his brother Giovanni, restored it, but it was only made wholly secure again on the accession of a distant relative from a branch line of the family, Cosimo I de' Medici.

		Piero de' Medici (the Unfortunate) (February 15, 1471 - December 28, 1503), the untalented, arrogant and undisciplined oldest son of Lorenzo de' Medici (the Magnificent), and brother of Pope Leo X.
		Piero attempted a resistance, but did not receive much support from Florence, which was suffering from the influence of Savonarola; even his cousins deserted to Charles.
		The resultant fury in Florence led to the Medici family fleeing, after which the family palazzo was looted, the substance as well as the form of the Republic of Florence was re-established, and the family were formally exiled, to wander through the states of Italy and Europe.

		Born 1389, died 1 August, 1464, the founder of their power and so-called "Padre della Patria", was the son of Giovanni di Averardo de' Medici, the richest banker in Italy.
		Posterity has agreed to call Lorenzo "the Magnificent", but this is, in part, a misunderstanding of the Italian title "magnifico", which was given to all the members of his family, and, indeed, during the fifteenth century, applied to most persons of importance in Italy to whom the higher title of "Excellence" did not pertain.
		But in 1530, after the famous siege, the city was compelled to surrender to the imperial forces, and Charles V made Alessandro de' Medici, an illegitimate son of the younger Lorenzo, hereditary head of the Florentine government.

		Lorenzo the Magnificent then reduced them to six, placing the blue ball at the top; Cosimo I, last of all, arranged them in the oval shape that they were to maintain in the future.
		Meanwhile the descendants of Lorenzo dei Medici the Elder lived in the shadow of the senior branch and, at times, also took advantage of the disadventures of the more powerful family or did what they could to cause trouble, as was typical among the rebellious elements to be found in most reigning houses.
		Lorenzo the Popolano was the father of Pier Francesco the Younger (1487-1525), who married Maria Soderini and in his turn fathered Lorenzino (1514-1547), who was to murder Duke Alessandro in the name of apparent Republican ideals, thus cancelling out the branch of Cosimo the Elder and earning the name of Lorenzaccio (or wicked Lorenzo).

		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.
		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.
		Lorenzo inherited the family curse of gout, couldn’t smell or taste anything (inherited from his mother as noted above) and was not the most physically attractive of men—however all his contemporaries state (and one doubts it is just flattery) that when he spoke, he was positively magnetic.

		He married his eldest son Piero to Alfonsina, daughter of the Cavaliere Orsini, and had his second son promoted to the dignity of cardinal, which was the more remarkable as it was unprecedented, the youth having hardly completed his thirteenth year.
		Of his daughters, one was married to Jacopo Salviati, another to Francesco Cibo, and a third to Piero Ridolfi; but the fourth, who, by way of keeping the family united, had been married to Giovanni de' Medici, her cousin, died.
		These proofs of regard from foreign sovereigns caused Lorenzo to be looked upon with the greatest admiration by all Italy; and his reputation was daily increased by his rare ability, for he was eloquent and subtle in speech, wise in his resolves, and bold and prompt in their execution.

		Jones, di una congiunzione costante tra signoria cittadine e aristocrazia rurale: una convinzione che mortifica l'interesse di casi in cui (come accade per i Carraresi a Padova, Della Torre a Milano, Bonacolsi a Mantova ecc…) è al contrario l'elemento mercantile a favorire l'instaurazione della signoria.
		In opposizione alle cause di questo tipo Salvemini volge l'attenzione ai fattori di tipo culturale, sottolineando l’importanza di delineare il quadro della società romana nei primi secoli dell’era cristiana, con particolare riferimento ai suoi codici culturali, per comprendere appieno le ragioni della debolezza dell’Impero.
		Con il progressivo inurbarsi di tali lignaggi, con il loro calarsi in una realtà di fatto estranea come quella cittadina, e la progressiva tendenza da parte loro all’acquisizione di mentalità e codici di comportamento "borghesi", la cavalleria avrebbe finito col subire una lenta ed inesorabile decadenza nel XIV secolo.
