Summary
The Medici family rose from humble bankers to powerful rulers in Florence and the Vatican during the Renaissance. Giovanni di Bici de' Medici strategically allied with Baldassare Cosa, leading to the election of Pope John XXIII. Successors, including Cosimo and Lorenzo, further solidified their influence, but the family's power waned after the death of Catherine de' Medici.
