In 1914, Girolamo Savonarola had come to the conclusion that the Medici family had to much power in Florence because of their incredible banking and economic systems. Savonarola began to preach to the people of Florence of his ideas and philosophy. He gained many followers and eventually built up enough support to overthrow the Medici Family. He then went on to appoint very famous Machiavelli to be his secretary.

The Medici family, particularly during the Renaissance in Florence, wielded significant political and economic power, largely through their banking empire and strategic marriages. They were influential patrons of the arts and sciences, supporting figures like Michelangelo and Galileo, which helped shape cultural development in Europe. Although their power waned in later centuries, their legacy endures in the form of art, architecture, and contributions to the modern banking system. Today, the Medici name is more symbolic of historical influence than a reflection of actual political power.
