Originally wealthy wool merchants and bankers, they rose to prominence in the 15th century under Cosimo de’ Medici, who established the family’s control over Florence through strategic alliances and financial influence. His grandson, Lorenzo the Magnificent, further cemented Medici power by supporting the arts and fostering the careers of figures like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli, making Florence the heart of the Renaissance. Beyond banking and patronage, the Medici shaped European politics, producing four popes—Leo X, Clement VII, Pius IV, and Leo XI—as well as Catherine de’ Medici and Marie de’ Medici, who became queens of France. Their power waned in the late 16th century but was revived when they became the ruling dukes and later grand dukes of Tuscany. The family’s reign ended in 1737 with the death of Gian Gastone de’ Medici, marking the decline of their political influence. However, their legacy endures through their vast contributions to art, science, and architecture, leaving an indelible mark on Western history.
