The Pazzi Conspiracy was a plot during the 15th century to overthrow the Medici family, who controlled Florence at the time. The conspirators, led by the Pazzi family, aimed to achieve their goal by assassinating Lorenzo de’ Medici, the ruler of Florence, and his brother, Giuliano. Although Giuliano was killed, the conspirators only managed to wound Lorenzo. As a result, the Pazzi Conspiracy did not succeed. Moreover, the hope that the Florentines would join the revolt did not materialize. In fact, quite the opposite happened, as the city’s inhabitants strengthened their support for the Medicis. The Pazzis, on the other hand, lost many of its members, and those who survived were expelled from Florence.
