My stepfather was a direct Medici descendant on his mother's side. Looked identical to Cosimo in the famous portrait and even shared the name. He passed in 07'. There's one brother left in that line left alive today and he only has 2 daughters. Besides that only a few cousins in Naples before the vanish from earth.
You made a mistake: only one of Lorenzo’s son became Pope (this was Giovanni that became Pope with the name of Leo X),Pope Clement VII was Giuliano’s son so Lorenzo’s nephew not his son.And by the way it’s Genoa (or Genova) not Geneva but the video is cool,I like it! (Sorry if I’m being such a judgmental but I’m Italian 🤷🏼♀️ ahahaha)
@@HoustonSongz Not really true. It has much more to do with how the system is set up. Italy did not have much of a convention for how cities (which were essentially how most states were formed in Italy during that period, around a city) should be ruled in the period where the Medici popped up. Florence was loosely a republic, but it functioned more as an aristocracy and the hierarchy that the aristocracy was built on did not favor nobility, which created an opportunity for someone who is extremely savvy with money/bribery (Giovanni/Cosimo) and PR (Cosimo) to take center stage. This sort of thing did not happen in places with established monarchies such as England or France, as the systems were fundamentally different. But yes, modern day American politics allow for private lobbying, which is essentially legal corruption in many cases. Pair that with the fact that the banks have a stranglehold on the mechanisms by which the financial system operates and you have a recipe for bankers ruling from behind the curtain.
Just like Rothschilds today. Israel wouldnt exist if not for their evil doings. the BALFOUR DECLARATION is a center piece in their homes most proud of...as Palestinians suffer genocide...funny how theyre doing exactly what was done to them but they have perfected it.
Ever heard of the Habsburgs? Or the Rothschilds? The Rothschilds are still around today and are still 100% the richest most powerful family in the world.
I am blood related to the Medici royal family. I know that everyone thinks that the blood line is gone but the Medici royal family uses a different last name. The Medici royal family is now the DiLorenzo family. This is because in the 1700's there were no males to carry on the Medici name to the next generation. The last generation of the Medici royal family were all female and they branched out to marrying into different families. It was my great great great grandfather who married into the Medici royal family and changed the Medici name to DiLorenzo. It's funny how my family whom is the DiLorenzo family and was once the Medici royal family lives on Long Island New York instead of staying in Italy.
aaliM art The show is called “Medici: The Magnificent”. That’s what season 1 is called. Season 2 is called “Medici: Masters of Florence”. And season 3 is almost on Netflix. I think it’ll be on there next month. They always play the whole season in Italy before they release it to Netflix. So we have to wait. But the first two seasons are available. They took some liberties with the story and historical events, but it’s still an exiting show.
Well... all the pronunciations of the Italian names make you shiver! And only ONE of Lorenzo's sons became pope, Giovanni(Leone X) and the second Medici's pope (Clemente VII) was his NEPHEW Giulio, the son of his beloved brother Giuliano
also, the last Medici very much cared about the artistic heritage of florence that the family had collected, in fact thanks to Anna Maria Luisa today we have the uffizi! it is incorrect to say that they had not continued to keep the city as a cultural center
6:48 not factually correct. Pope Leo was Cosimo’s great grandson. Cosimo->Piero->Lorenzo the Magnificent->Pope Leo. Pope Clement was the illegitimate son of Lorenzo the Magnificent’s brother, Giuliano de Medici (killed in Pazzi Conspiracy in 1478). Also means he’s a great grandson of Cosimo.
You leave your audience with, "Does the end justify the means?" If you lived in the 16th century and were a member of a prominent family, the answer in yes.
Very interesting. I study art history for about a year now and their name pops up alot, so thought I'd check them out. By funding artists of their day- we get to see amazing works from their patronage and their importance as such- priceless. Thanks for the video.
@@italianoetnico.calabreseve9262 i might be wrong, because they were Italians I assumed they referred to Genova due to proximity to Florence . Anyway merry Christmas wish you all the best
I need to talk to a Medici relative. Medici & Visconti families are my 5th cousins. The Genovese are my 3rd cousins. My Paternal great grandfather was full Italian.
This was a terribly researched video with a number of inaccuracies. I believe somebody already mentioned that Pope Clement VII was not a son of Lorenzo, but his brother. You really glossed over the influence Lorenzo had and his role cementing the family's influence. You also did not mention his mother, who played an important role in the Medici's rise, neither did you mention their ability to enter the nobility through the marriages and alliances they made. You also don't cover their rise again after retaking Florence.
I’d say that’s a little harsh. It’s just a brief overview for someone new to the history. I will say though that I agree the video portrays Lorenzo as merely a weaker successor to Cosimo, which couldn’t be further from the truth. He solidified the medici as the central political dynasty of Italy and expanded upon his predecessors development of the arts and culture. Not to mention his complete control of Florence.
👏👏 The Medici produced four Popes of the Catholic Church-Pope Leo X (1513-1521), Pope Clement VII (1523-1534), Pope Pius IV (1559-1565) and Pope Leo XI (1605. Would you Alux make a vid Silvio Berlusconi, The Caballieri? Greetings from Lake Titicaca Bolivia
Niccol Machiavelli served Borgia family not Medici.Indeed, his political career was over when medici family came back to power and exiled him. Get your facts right
First Mistake: introducing Giovanni de Medici (2.33) and showing his son Cosimo ( the Elder) Look at the words on the chair: Cosm'-Medices P.P. ( the initials stand for Pater Patriae, the title Cosimo the Elder would acquire). How does that spell Giovanni?

My Favourite Family!! I just love how they influenced the whole of Rome!! Wonder how it would be if there was a real descendent of the Family in today's world!!!
The pictures that you are associating with the commentary are incorrect. When talking about Giovanni, you are showing a picture of Cosimo. When talking of Cosimo, you are showing a picture of Lorenzo the Magnificent (his grandson).
Did she mistake Lorenzo the Elder for Lorenzo the Magnificent? "When male descendants of Cosimo died off, the male heirs of his brother Lorenzo took over and began a new branch of the Medici dynasty." Pretty sure Pope Leo X and Clement VII were both great-grandsons of Cosimo de' Medici and grandsons to his son and heir Piero the Gouty. Pieros two sons fathered the Medici Florentine popes. Lorenzo the Magnificent was the father of Pope Leo X and Giuliano de' Medici father of Clement VII.
@@cosimodemedici1530 Ok thanks! Basically the video is about the origin of Medici's family so yeah Cosimo Il Vecchio was the first Medici who built the family fortune.
The image of Catherine di Medici was actually her cousin Marie di Medicine, both were married to Kings of France. Catherine to Henry II and Marie to Henry IV.
In this case, I say yes. The end justifies the means. Look at the architecture and works of art we are left with today. I don't know what really happened then; no one knows all the ins and outs and thought processes of men's minds of the day, not really. I know how a man can become envious of others' wealth and prestige, especially earned through their own work ( honest or not) and how so-called noble families can begrudge this due to their own self-entitlement. We see it all the time, and it exists today. The Medici popes? That was a smart business move, yes, business. The church was a place to climb up the ladder for prestige and wealth; make no mistake, it had nothing to do with saving souls. It was a joke, and only the nieve would believe otherwise.
Exactly lol. All the European monarchs are all blood related and would do things, like get themselves elected to Pope, just to gain more money and power.
While their actions was for its own power, they sure left a mark on the world for the better with all of their investments into the arts, church, and music.
The video erroneously described Machiavelli being a protege of the Medici. He was in the Florentine republic that governed when the Medici were out of power. He was later tortured by the Medici when they returned to power.
I never heard or saw this.. It was only by chance I follow an actor who was in the series.... Netflix... I do not have.... Comcast makes it hard for fixed income people to afford....but I still maintain the hope it will show up on American television.....
