Have you read Forbidden Friendships by Michael Rocke because I feel like it would be your jam. Also my time in the archive has revealed that Jacopo de Pazzi once bet someone 100 florins that Eugene IV wouldn't die and then he DID and Jacopo lost the money and thought it would be a good idea to write that on his tax returns for some reason
I HAVE read Forbidden Friendships (if anyone saw this post a second ago, I mistook it for a different book on Renaissance friendships that I’ve been glaring at for a few months now because I dislike the way the previous owner marked it up), it’s part of a collection on texts that made me start chomping down on interpersonal dynamics in the Renaissance (which is a fancy way of saying that it led me to a book on Machiavelli and Vettori’s letters and discourses on power and desire that. changed my brain chemistry forever. I’ll never recover from it.)
also I am SCREAMING that's so funny, the only time I like taxes are when it's about Renaissance guys

La Venere di Botticelli e l’uomo che la amò, Giuliano de Medici, furono entrambi vittime di un terribile destino.
Giuliano era il fratello minore di Lorenzo il Magnifico. Colto, intelligente, amante delle lettere e delle belle arti, era ammirato dalle donne per la sua bellezza e amato dal popolo per la sua generosità. Fu durante una giostra che incontrò o meglio rimase folgorato da Simonetta Vespucci.
Simonetta era talmente bella che fu soprannominata la “Senza Paragoni”. Botticelli la dipinse in moltissimi ritratti, ossessionato, rapito dall’incantevole bellezza della ragazza. L'esistenza di Simonetta, purtroppo, fu una vera e propria meteora: l’anno dopo il suo incontro con Giuliano morì di tisi a soli 23 anni. Alla sua morte si racconta che Giuliano sprofondò nella disperazione, scrisse dei versi per ricordare la donna da lui amata e chiese ai suoi amici di fare altrettanto. Inconsolabile nel suo dolore si recò a casa del suocero di Simonetta per chiedere di averne il ritratto.
Non ebbe però il tempo per sopravvivere al dolore della scomparsa di Simonetta. Una congiura ordita dalla famiglia dei Pazzi, ricchi banchieri fiorentini che odiavano i Medici e il potere che esercitavano su Firenze, mise fine alla sua vita. Nella chiesa di Santa Maria del Fiore, durante la celebrazione della messa, Bandini e Francesco Pazzi estrassero i pugnali e si avventarono su Giuliano colpendolo ripetutamente finché il giovane non cadde stremato nella pozza del suo stesso sangue, un omicidio che per brutalità ricorda quello inflitto a Giulio Cesare. Lorenzo invece riuscì a scappare rifugiandosi nella Sagrestia.
Dopo i funerali del fratello, dove si racconta che l’intera città ne pianse la morte, Lorenzo mise in atto la sua vendetta. Poche ore dopo il corpo di Jacopo de Pazzi pendeva da Palazzo Vecchio. I congiurati furono catturati, linciati e impiccati e i loro corpi gettati nell’Arno. Per una strana ironia del destino Giuliano morì nello stesso giorno in cui, due anni prima, si era spenta la sua adorata Simonetta.

Summary: Many things have happened to the marriage of Francesco de Pazzi and Andrea Sabini, the speech of Jacopo de Pazzi and the appearance of the most talked about woman in Florence, Tamara D'Amato cousin of the bride.
"I can't believe Francesco de Pazzi is getting married," Giuliano said
"So it's true that a good woman can change you," Botticelli joked
"Apparently" Lorenzo took a sip of the wine looking at the new couple, you could see that they were in love.
"Our poor Lorenzo is jealous," Giuliano said
"What? Jealous of Francesco? Never, I'm just happy that he's no longer influenced by Jacopo Pazzi"
"Of course, it's not the fact that you feel a little lonely"
"Not at all, if I want to marry someone I can choose any lady" he laughed
"Sure, what about the woman mother introduced you?"
"Clarice Orsini, Carlo was unable to pessuader her and she became a nun" her brother looked at him for a moment and it seemed that he was about to explode with laughter.
"Don't try to laugh, and let's talk about you instead"
"There is nothing to talk about, because you are doing the same thing" Lorenzo was about to reply when their sister arrived.
"Bianca where were you?"
"With the bride's cousin Lucia D'Amato" she explained and pointed at the young woman
"Do you think the d'Adamato will show up?" Botticelli asked
"If they show up this will be the most remembered wedding in Florence" Giuliano commented, across the hall The Pazzi brothers were talking.
"Congratulations brother" Gugliemo Pazzi was really proud of his brother, even if he did not want to say it, he did not expect Francesco to fall in love, and he had gotten into oace with the obsession of the Medici
"Thank you but if it wasn't for you I don't think I'd be here to toast"
"You did the same thing with me and Bianca, you are my brother this is the least" it seemed that the Pazzi family was going through a period of rebirth and prosperity.
While everyone was celebrating Jacopo Pazzi entered it seemed that he had drunk too much he was drunk.
"Congratulations to my nephew Francesco" he applauded
"How come you are all silent, I thought this was a wedding" he sobbed
"And it is, Messer Pazzi you can stay as long as you want" Andrea said approaching the man
"No more titles we are family now" he smiled, a trail of chills rose on the back of the groom.
"Do you think he has something in mind?" Guglielmo whispered
"I'm going to see" he no longer needed to muster up the courage to talk to his uncle.
"Uncle I'm glad you came"
"I would never miss my brother's son's wedding"
and the man goes away and approached other nobles.
"My love are you okay?" he said
" Yes why?"
"Jacopo Pazzi is never happy for anyone, and now that his most precious pawn is dispossessed he is afraid that I will be against him"
"Honey don't worry, the only thing I can tell you is to follow your mind and your heart, and if you don't know what to do, talk to your brother and your wife" she advised.
"Yes" the major domus interrupted the couple
"Madonna Pazzi, Tamara D'Amato has arrived" he announced
"Well thank you, honey you will meet my best friend"
"I can't believe it, Tamara D'Amato is not ashamed, she shows up here after having canceled her engagement" a noble woman said
"And with that scar on her face who will marry her?" they snickered
"I advise you to ceaseyour gossiping, Tamara D'Amato is still part of the D'Amato family if she wants your heads, she will have them, if you insult Tamara, you insult Venice and Florence" Lucrezia Donati said, and two women stopped talking
The most talked about woman in Florence entered the room and brought a stir and shock with her.
"Congratulations cousin, may you have a prosperous life together," she smiled
"Oh Tamara, your presence here is the best gift" Andrea hugged her
"I would never miss my cousin and best friend's wedding"
"So the rumors are true, she is really a beautiful woman" Bianca said, without taking her eyes off the woman, she had seen noble women but there was something about Tamara, maybe it was her red dress or the long braid that gathered her hair almost to the floor.
"It's not just a beautiful face, his father Leonardo D'Amato has always believed he was raising his children despite being a son or daughter, the woman excels in economics, Latin, Greek, Italian and helps her father" their mother Lucrezia said
"She seems to be a great woman" Giuliano commented
"A woman worthy of being a wife" the mother winked and left
"Mother will never change"
"If it weren't for that scar she could be the most beautiful woman in Florence …" Botticelli said
"A beautiful woman is always a beautiful woman" Lorenzo interrupted
"Are my eyes deceiving or Lorenzo is quite interested in Tamara D'Amato?" the painter teased
"No, but the D'Amato family is a powerful and rich family, our father and Leonardo were about to make an agreement for the sale of silk" he explained, he continued to look at her and it was clear that even with the "scandals" she was charismatic woman.
The woman was approaching the group, the closer she gets, the more Lorenzo looked at her, he had noticed that she had a mole near her left eye.
"Good evening family de Medici and Signor Botticelli" she greeted
"Lady D'Amato is a pleasure to meet you this evening" Bianca greeted shyly, respected the woman
"I'm sorry for your father's death, he was a good man, may he rest in peace"
"I knew that our fathers were friends, my father is getting old unfortunately things have left certain things pending"
"We, their children can continue what they were doing"
"Interesting, I hope we could" before leaving the music began
"Dama would you like to dance with me?" he offered himself and gives her a little grin and accepted her hand. The music started and everybody was ready to dance
"Messer Lorenzo"
" Yes?"
"If you wanted to talk about business, it was enough to talk to my brother Benedetto, there was no need to invite me to dance"
"I didn't invite you for business, I'm just a man who can't resist a beautiful woman" Tamara laughed
" Is this how the famous Lorenzo de Medici steals the hearts of the ladies of Florence?" she smiled
" Steal? No my lady a thief steal, I'm a keeper, the heart of the lady I will love is more precious than diamonds and gold" he whispered on her ear.
" So you are poet too?"
" I'm a man who loves the art, I heard your family supports many artists" he said
" Yes my family support artists, from painters,writers, poets and musicians. House D'Amato is not only selling tessile but we make clothes out of them" she explained, and with the last twirl the dance ended, but their hands was still intertwined.
" I would like to see you" he blurted out
" I mean I would like to see more of your family products" he corrected himself blushing
" Of course our shops are always open" she smiled, bowed and walked away. Leaving the young Lord following her with his blue eyes.

Heyy!! Who's your fav couple in medici? I loved giuliano and simonetta's story it's heartbreaking, it was not lust but true and pure love
I also liked Bianca and guglielmo but their story was kinda incomplete. In s3 we only see bianca but we don't know anything about him. I had a feeling he died. What did you feel? ( ik he outlived bianca in real life but the show is pretty messy with timeliness since bianca died before lorenzo but in the series its the opposite)
I just saw this but I would LOVE to answer. so i think i have to say either clarenzo (clarice and lorenzo) or francesco and novella! i know francesco and novella's relationship soured after a year or two, but i loved how sweet he always was with her, until he suspected her of an affair, that is. he always let himself show her affection, even when they were in front of the public, when it was such a rare side of him.
i always liked giuliano and simonetta, and how they fell in love, but i didn't like that i could see tragedy coming from a mile away. i also didn't know about giuliano's death until watching the show, but i already knew someone would die and then it ended up being both of them, which BROKE my heart.
bianca and guglielmo was never my favorite couple, but i liked that he sided with the medici's for her. he seemed to truly care about her and became more of a medici than a pazzi, but him burning the note... i wanted him dead, though i know he didn't die immediately. i think it's because the medici's were always the ones handing him things and making sure he always had what he needed and always supporting him after jacopo turned a blind eye to him. his betrayal, though small, always made me want to fight him. i also get the feeling he lived well in his exile, even though he was never really seen again, just so that the medici's could say that they were merciful rather than tyrants, despite the fact that lorenzo lowkey turned to being one in the end.
saying that i hate guglielmo also brings in the complication of me saying francesco being my favorite, as he betrayed the only ones who loved him, but we would be fools to think lorenzo wasn't also trying to use him in his own little ways. lorenzo cared for francesco, but lorenzo did keep asking francesco to lowkey betray the pazzi family/let things fall into ruin for them, all to help the medici's. i always felt that if lorenzo had learned from jacopo's mistakes, rather than thinking himself above them, he would have been able to keep francesco as a friend.

Who would survive in the Apocalypse? Medici Edition
Francesco Pazzi
Tumblr media
I would say the outbreak happened when Francesco was around...14? His parents are killed in the outbreak, and Francesco takes his little brother Gugielmo and runs. Francesco runs through the chaos of their hometown, trying to get away. Francesco takes Gugielmo and goes to his family's safe house, stealing a car to get there. His family on his Uncle's side, were preppers, especially Jacopo's wife, his aunt.
Francesco and Guglielmo get to the safe house and stay held up in there for three days before Jacopo finally arrives and finds them.
So Francesco essentially grows up for a large part of his life in the Apocalypse. He of course still remembers his life before the end of the world, but he learns and adapts to the world rather quickly. Jacopo is still a harsh man, and Francesco is abused as child, molded into a weapon for Jacopo to use.
Whatever main settlements appear throughout the years, Florence being one of them, his home and home to the Medici, Francesco likes to travel between them. He actually likes to be out in the dead world, much more than he likes being cooped up within the city that he calls home.
Francesco can kill walkers, he's quite good at it, Jacopo has made sure he excels in handling any type of weapon, but in truth, Francesco simply often avoids the dead. He can weave in and out of them easily, he is quick on his feet and knows where to hide and where to go to get away from a herd.
