"The mother of Pope Clement VII remains an enigmatic figure. Pieraccini cites a record of the Pazzi conspriacy by Antonio da San Gallo in which he wrote that Giuliano had a son, aged one, by the time he was killed in the Pazzi conspiracy in 1478. The mother was ' a woman of the Gorini, his friend. The said Lorenzo went to see him and then gave him to the care of the same Antonio, where he stayed until his seventh year. The said son had the name of Giulio and was born on the 6th March 1478. Seraccini is cited as stating that she was Fioretta di Antonio di Michele di Iacopo del Ciptadino corazzaio. Pieraccini however states that the mother's name was certainly 'Fioretta', but that all else is unknown.

An unpleasant paragraph then follows outlining the importance of knowing who the mother was, owing: ' on the laws of hereditary biology, the knowledge of whether Fioretta was daughter of nobles or plebs must be important, for example, to recognise the inheritance of particular refined talents or dispositions, presumably more developed in the Florentine upper classes than in the lower ones.' Giulio had himself declared legitimate during Giovanni's cardinalate, saying that his mother had been secretly married to Giuliano. The eighteenth-century Jesuit antiquarian, Giuseppe Richa, in an attempt to ensure the Medici pope's legitimacy to the throne of S. Peter, repeated this claim of a secret marriage. Hibbert follows the Gorini reference, and identifies her as Fioretta Gorini. 'This boy, whose mother soon afterwards died, was adopted by Lorenzo'. Young identifies her as Antonia Gorini." - Women on the margins: the beloved and the mistress in Renaissance Florence

Ce soir de Noël je vous conduis en Toscane où habite mon neveu dans un endroit comme je les aime, un Palazzo, la Villa Médicis Di Liliano Les chroniques du passé nous racontent que la Villa Medicea di Lilliano, avait une double fonction : elle était utilisée pour des fêtes avec des banquets somptueux et comme refuge de la chaleur estivale de la ville. ⚜️ Il n'est pas difficile de comprendre pourquoi les Médicis ont décrit cette villa, comme une véritable oasis de paix où ils ont également transféré leur amour de l'art. Le joyau de la couronne est la petite chapelle familiale privée 🙏🏻 à laquelle on accède par le passage décoré de fresques. #Repost @villamediceadililliano ✨ Inside the Villa ✨ The Medici's great passion for wine is evidenced by the frescoed passageway, where angels are admired carrying grapes and wine🍇 A love that has been passed down through the centuries by @malenchiniwinery, which today produces wine of Italian excellence🍷 . La grande passione per il vino dei Medici è testimoniata dal passaggio affrescato, dove si ammirano gli angeli che portano l'uva e il vino. Un amore che è stato tramandato nei secoli dall'azienda Malenchini che produce oggi vino d'eccellenza italiana. Not only claims wonderful 17th-century frescoes and a gorgeous Italian garden, Villa Medicea di Lilliano hides a curious and unique room. This is the "Chinese Room", so called because of the exotic and oriental-like frescoes on the walls. The floor of the room is made of majolica from Montepulciano, and Japanese porcelain vases can be admired 🏺 #villamedicea #tuscany #toscana #grassina #bagnoaripoli #firenze #villa #landscape #medicifamily #italy #italia #imedici #igerstoscana #famigliamedici #unesco #leonardodavinci #tuscanylovers #igertoscana #beautifulplaces #travelgram #discoveritaly #historicvilla #instatravelguide #nature #chinaroom #chineseroom https://www.instagram.com/p/CmmdLdAtizi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Contessina de’ Medici ( 1390 - 1473 ): a study of her stars.

Little is truly known about the dates concerning Contessina de Medici’s birth and death, so as a last effort, I resorted to astrology in order to set somewhat of a date to this remarkable Florentine woman who — not only — was wife of Cosimo de’ Medici, but also mother of a dynasty, Lady Consort of Florence ( title created for her before it was passed on ) and whose image is so often disregarded given how she devoted most of her life to caring for her household instead of business or politics. Mind you, keeping an organized home in a time when the Palazzo Vecchio was the center of European Renaissance definitely was no easy task, and even so she managed to exert her influence through marriage and tax negotiations in Florence.

For those who do not know much of astrology, though still are interested in reading, here’s a brief dictionary to what the placements mean:

— sun: the person’s essence, what’s truly wanted by them.

— moon: the inward processes to go about it, what’s truly needed by them.

— rising: how the person presents to others, the style to go in order to achieve things. — venus: how the person goes about romantic and emotional affairs

— mars: described the person’s relationship with what they are passionate about, not necessarily in the romantic or sexual aspect of it.

MOST LIKELY DATE AND HOUR CONSIDERING ASTRO PLACEMENTS:

5th of July 1390 ( Florence, Tuscany, Italy ; 9 am )

⁕ SUN: CANCER.

One of the most prominent aspects of her personality through the few content available definitely tells Contessina was likely to have Cancer as her reining house. Not only does her essence seems driven by the traits of nurturing and protecting, it’s clear by her family oriented actions ( such as many books report that most of her letters concerned family affairs ).

It’s important to add that while the role of women at that time was to be handling house affairs, that doesn’t necessarily mean all had the same way to go about it, and for her it went with innate ability belonging to her sun.

Another aspect that’s clear is the emotional balance represented by her figure. Not only did she raise Carlo ( Cosimo’s illegitimate son ) instead of neglecting him, but also appeared to be, many times, a tie that bound the family together and kept them grounded. She reminded Cosimo ever so often to be more caring for their sons and took upon herself to help with her grandchildren while Piero and Lucrezia busied themselves with the bank and politics after Cosimo’s death and Piero’s rocky health conditions.

This topic could not go by without mentioning her undying loyalty, the first reason why I had a hunch that she was a Cancerian. She remained faithful to her husband until the very end, even through his exile and when he had a bastard child ( while that wasn’t as scandalous as it is in the present, it definitely could have posed as an unbending wedge in their private life; instead, she cared for Cosimo and his declining health until the very end, as read through her letters at the time ).

Cancers are water masters and, much like it, Contessina made Medici rivers run into her to flow even waters.

⁕ RISING: VIRGO.

In addition to the sun, her rising being in Virgo can clearly be determined by the sentence ‘more concerned with being useful than being recognized’. Virgos have a natural urge for service, to be able to help and in an organized manner, always careful with lists and planning and seeking purpose for those ( though never needing to be acknowledged for it ). Needless to say, that only reinforces the Cancerian traits mentioned above.

Yet, it reveals a fear that was beheld of disease and sickness, and one can grasp that by how Cosimo would often be caught mentioning how Contessina worried about his presumed gout. Many were the letters that she’s caught concerning herself with health issues of her children, daughters-in-law, even during the plague outbreaks.

⁕ MOON: CAPRICORN.

Contessina was reported to be a woman who was quite careful with money, and this moon comes in handy to explain her relationship with that aspect of her life. Let’s not forget her family was fairly rich before the Bardi bank declared bankruptcy due the single unpaid loan by Edward III of England, and that her marriage to Cosimo was solely for financial reasons on her family’s part. Thus, the innate urge to master material resources that comes with the ever so responsible Capri, was definitely boosted by that particular fear of repeating that one past failure ( another Capricorn trait ).

This moon is a stark contrast to her caring and warm Cancerian sun, it shows that one side of her that certainly related to Cosimo and ensured the unmatched success of their family at that time’s period. Both held deeply onto stability and the foundations.

Moreover, a Capri’s self-sufficiency and strength can be found in how Contessina seemed to lead the household mostly on her own even when Ginevra Cavalcanti ( Lorenzo the Elder’s wife ), Lucrezia Tornabuoni and Ginevra Alessandri ( Giovanni di Cosimo’s wife ) joined the family. It’s somewhat clear that the latter two were furthermore engaged in business and politics than Contessina, which they were certainly able to do given how she needn’t much help with her considered duties.

⁕ VENUS: CANCER.

Another easy placement, in my opinion, was to rest her Venus as as Cancer. Reportedly, her marriage to Cosimo was amicable and she was ever patient and a good-listener. Not to mention that Venus in Cancer is welcoming and warm, which certainly were traits that solidified how they appeared to rely on each other and built their trust. That does not mean a Cancerian’s heart is easy, no, but she definitely went all the lengths to mend conflicts and keep her heart into those she held affection for ( that much not only romantically ).

Contessina appeared to be one that gave more than she took through what’s known of her in the present. Another point that’s worth mentioning is that this Venus tends to express their creativity through nurturing, entertaining and decorating. Thus it’s no wonder she kept the family taken care of, managed to set place to all those many events Cosimo held and ensured the place’s beauty.

Her charm’s silent, unspoken.

⁕ MARS: ARIES.

While one might question this placement, Aries in Mars brings that bit of fire that seems to be missing from the rest of the previous placements. Let’s not forget that while she ( most likely ) did not run with a horse inside the Signoria back at the day, Contessina definitely wasn’t a meek personality.

Somewhat, I see her passion being the one to care for others, especially since we know so little of her actual likes and dislikes. And even when she looked after her family, one can see mentions of her “fussings” and her tone in letters eventually turning into small complaints despite how it’s all very subtle, reflecting this part of her that definitely could be more energetic, headstrong and hit the ground running.

( heads up! i do not own the media in this post, the gifset can be found here and the pictures were sought on google and filtered with polarr ).

That’s my astrological look into the main details of Contessina de’ Medici’s personality as read through her letters and mentions in books. Also, my way to come forward and say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TESSA <3

"The Medici were not loved; they were feared. The assassins aimed at the fear factor, hoping that the Florentines would conclude that they were not invincible and would flock to the Pazzi banner. Their mistake was to underestimate the raw courage of Lorenzo, who survived their attack, and to kill Giuliano, who might have been able to lead a successful defense." - Paul Strathern, "The Medici: Power, Money, and Ambition in the Italian Renaissance"

The assassination of Giuliano de' Medici was mentioned in several primary sources from the time period, including contemporary chronicles and letters. One of the most important primary sources is the "Diary of Luca Landucci," a Florentine wool merchant who witnessed the events of the Pazzi conspiracy and recorded them in his diary. Landucci's diary provides a detailed and vivid account of the conspiracy and the events leading up to the assassination of Giuliano de' Medici.

Other primary sources that mention the assassination of Giuliano de' Medici include the letters of the Medici family, particularly those of Lorenzo de' Medici and his mother, Lucrezia Tornabuoni. These letters provide insights into the personal reactions of the Medici family to the events of the conspiracy and the death of Giuliano.

It was also a significant event in the history of Florence, as it marked the beginning of a period of political instability and violence known as the "War of the Eight Saints." In the aftermath of the conspiracy, the Medici family consolidated their power and launched a ruthless campaign of revenge against their enemies, which included the execution of many of the conspirators and their supporters.

"The Pazzi conspiracy was a daring and ambitious plot that ultimately failed, but not before claiming the life of one of Florence's most beloved sons. Giuliano de' Medici was a true Renaissance prince, cultured, handsome, and beloved by all who knew him. His death was a tragedy for Florence and a blow to the cause of humanism and progress in Italy." - Christopher Hibbert, "The House of Medici: Its Rise and Fall"
