The Pazzi Family was a prominent noble family in Florence, Italy, during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. They were known for their wealth, political influence, and rivalry with the Medici Family. The Pazzi were involved in banking and trade, which helped them gain power and status in Florentine society. One of the most notable events associated with the Pazzi Family is the Pazzi Conspiracy of 1478, an attempt to overthrow the Medici and assassinate Lorenzo de' Medici and his brother Giuliano de' Medici. The conspiracy ultimately failed, leading to severe repercussions for the Pazzi, including executions and loss of power.
