LYRICS
1400’s Florence, Italy
Run by one powerful banking family
Oh, they handled the prestigious accounts of the papacy
Rising up the ranks from the merchant class to the elite
Renaissance dynasty - the Medici
Control through “amici degli amici”
Godfather Cosimo made his enemies
Banished for treason by the Albizzi
Rescued by the Pope and returned to his city
Commissioned the completion of the Dome by Brunelleschi
Renaissance dynasty - the Medici
Patrons of the famous Botticelli
The young Lorenzo soon became the “capo”
Avoided war with Naples; “Il Magnifico!”
At Easter Mass the Pazzis tried to kill him after they stabbed his bro
He survived and got some bloody revenge – hung them by a cord
Renaissance dynasty - the Medici
Support the important literati
Condemned for their blatant decadency
Giovanni became Pope Leo X
Giovanni sold those indulgences
Renaissance banking family - the Medici
Climbed up to the ranks of the papacy
They hired Michelangelo, the Medici
Taught by Galileo - those Medici
Florence, Cradle of the Renaissance!
The Medici!
Patrons of the arts - patrons of the arts
Leaders of the Renaissance!
The Medici
