In 1478, Florence found itself on the brink of chaos. The ruling Medici family had faced mounting opposition from rival factions, and the atmosphere was ripe for unrest. Into this volatile mix stepped a shadowy figure—Bernardo Bandini, known as "Nerli"—a skilled swordsman with a thirst for power.
Nerli's plan was audacious and ruthless. He rallied a group of disaffected nobles and wealthy merchants, uniting them under a common purpose: the overthrow of the Medici. The conspirators plotted in secret, meeting under the cover of darkness to perfect their scheme.
Their target was Giuliano de' Medici, the younger of the two Medici brothers ruling Florence. Giuliano was known for his charisma and love of the arts, but he was also perceived as a weak and indecisive leader. Nerli and his co-conspirators saw him as the perfect pawn to remove.
On the fateful morning of April 26, 1478, as Giuliano and his brother Lorenzo attended Mass in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the conspiracy was set in motion. A group of assassins, led by Nerli, burst into the sanctuary and attacked the Medici brothers.
In the ensuing chaos, Giuliano was brutally stabbed to death, while Lorenzo narrowly escaped with his life. The assassination sent shockwaves through Florence and beyond. The Medici had been untouchable for decades, and their sudden vulnerability stunned the city.
The aftermath of the conspiracy was swift and bloody. Nerli and the other assassins were hunted down and executed, their bodies displayed as a warning to all who would defy the Medici. Lorenzo, scarred both physically and emotionally, consolidated his power and ruled Florence with an iron fist for many years to come.
The "Plot Against the Medici" remained a pivotal event in the history of Florence. It laid bare the fragility of power and the ruthless tactics that could be employed to seize it.
