minuti chi sono i medici e perché sono
così importanti per la nostra salute e
ho sbagliato
iniziamo la storia di questa
importantissima famiglia ha inizio in
uno dei luoghi più belli della nostra
italia mamma mia pizzeria ma esclusi
avere propri che cosa la valle del
mugello
più precisamente in quella che potrebbe
essere la villa di bruce wayne
la villa medicea di cafaggiolo è troppo
tardi per cambiare il nome
siamo a firenze l'alto medioevo è finito
da poco e il rinascimento è praticamente
sotto casa è la signoria di firenze a
governare la città e tra i mobili
governanti c'è anche giovanni de medici
detto pubblici che si è guadagnato la
poltrona a palazzo della signoria
dopo aver aperto la banca di famiglia il
banco medici ed è proprio da qui che ha
inizio la scalata verso il successo dei
medici
giovanni infatti poco interessato alla
vita politica dedica tutte le sue
attenzioni al benessere della sua casata
gonfiando il cavo della sua banca e
investendo sull'industria di lana di
famiglia medici all'epoca erano meno
potenti rispetto a famiglie come gli
albizi o gli struzzi ed è stata la
chiesa a ribaltare la situazione come
borghese quando andava di moda
il papa infatti sceglie proprio il banco
medici come banca della chiesa mai a me
queste botte di la popolarità di
giovanni a una spinta di debole quando
andando contro se stesso e gli altri
nobili della signoria di firenze crea
una tassa sulle proprietà dei ricconi
così facendo riesce a riempire le casse
della città aiutando
più poveri all'epoca i benestanti
finanziavano opere di qualsiasi genere
c'è chi ha finanziato la realizzazione
delle porte del paradiso di lorenzo e
pittore che il berti chi invece la
costruzione dell'ospedale degli
innocenti
ed è stato proprio giovanni ammettere il
cash favorendo la ristrutturazione della
chiesa di san lorenzo per mano di
filippo brunelleschi giovanni però
decide prima che il brunelleschi
concluda l'opera sarà suo figlio cosa ma
ad occuparsi dei lavori rilassati cosimo
grazie soprattutto agli insegnamenti del
suo babbo è stato capace di mantenere
espandere l'influenza e la ricchezza
della famiglia lo chiamavano il pater
patriae o addirittura il vecchio kiss ha
tirato era l'uomo più ricco del suo
tempo aveva un sacco di esperienza
commerciale era diventato praticamente
lo sponsor degli artisti se non fosse
stato per lui firenze non sarebbe quella
che conosciamo oggi
è stato lui a commissionare a michelozzo
michelozzi come tinazzi la realizzazione
di un palazzo medici ha lavorato con
gran genico fra filippo fra le paste e
il culatello ed è sotto la sua
giurisdizione che il globe e le ski
realizza la cupola autoportante del
duomo di firenze fonda persino la prima
biblioteca della città è tipo l'uomo del
rinascimento firenze diventa una
repubblica e grazie al loro dominio
economico e alla sapiente guida di
cosimo i medici vengono nominati
granduchi di toscana
anche suo nipote lorenzo non è da meno
seguendo le orme di cosimo lorenzi
finanzia artisti come botticelli
michelangelo via addirittura leonardo
diventando ufficialmente lorenzo il
magnifico scrive anche una canzone la
canzona di bacco macro tutto bene stai
sfasciato c'è solo un problemino
lorenzo era un cane nella gestione dei
soldi e il banco medici collassa a causa
dei suoi cattivi investimenti fa il figo
investendo su gli influencer e poi
l'erede di lorenzo il magnifico è il
figlio pierre dito lo sfortunato o il
funk
io lo chiamerei più il fogliò sperpera
tutti gli averi di famiglia e nel 1494
causa il crollo della casata fortuna che
arriva a suo fratello giovanni a
risollevare la reputazione di famiglia
diventando papa leone decimo è esposta a
tutti i poteri a roma portandosi con sé
michelangelo e andava alle varie un oro
l'ultimo membro della vecchia
generazione dei medici ovvero alessandro
viene assassinato lasciando spazio ai
giovani che danno vita al regno di
cosimo primo il sole tre generazioni
la famiglia dei medici passa da ai
medici il bus a diventare una vera e
propria potenza nella politica e
nell'economia di firenze che tra alti e
bassi continua a regnare sulla città
fino al 1700 37 abbiamo saltato qualcosa
completate il ripasso con un commento
