Piero de' Albizzi was a prominent figure in 15th-century Florence, known for his role as a politician and member of the influential Albizzi family. He served as the head of the Florentine government during a time marked by political strife and rivalry with the Medici family. His leadership was characterized by efforts to maintain the power of the traditional ruling elite. Despite his initial successes, Piero's tenure faced challenges, including the rise of Lorenzo de' Medici, which ultimately led to his downfall. In 1434, Piero was exiled, marking a significant shift in Florentine politics as the Medici family began to dominate the city.
