How the Medici Shaped the Renaissance | Theocracy and Republicanism at Florence (Lecture 8)

Lecture 8: When Piero and the Medici family fled Florence in the autumn of 1494, they sought refuge in Venice. Piero never returned to Florence. This lesson focuses on the years in which Florence regained its liberty and reconstituted its republic—free from Medici rule.

Relive the period in which the Florentine Republic was reinstated in a populist revolution overseen by the religious figure of Savonarola. Trace the upheavals that led to Savonarola’s fall, and the maneuvering by the Medici in Rome to ally with the papacy and the Spanish. Witness the military actions through which, after nearly 20 years in exile, the Medici returned as rulers of Florence.
