It is often assumed that the Medici of Florence were Jewish because they made a great fortune as money-lenders, which is widely viewed (rightly and wrongly) as a Jewish trade. They were in fact Catholic by faith and tradition and produced two Popes (Leo X and Clement VII) and many cardinals. HOWEVER, a distinguished Jewish Rabbi and medical doctor, Jachiel da Pesaro, converted to Catholicism in 1583--under the sponsorship of Cardinal Ferdinando dei Medici, later Grand Duke Ferdinando I. Upon baptism, Jachiel took the name of Vitale dei Medici and was effectively "adopted" by Ferdinando. VItale's sons Alessandro and Antonio dei Medici inherited the family name along with the Catholic faith and enjoyed great wealth and influence in Florence. IN SUMMARY: The Medici of Florence were definitely not Jewish but there were several quasi-Medici (with no blood tie) who were formerly Jewish.
Pazzi Conspiracy
The Medici family, a prominent banking and political dynasty in Florence, faced various threats and attempts on their lives throughout their history. The most notable assassination attempt occurred in 1478, during the Pazzi Conspiracy, where members of the Pazzi family, supported by others including the Pope, plotted to kill Lorenzo de' Medici and his brother Giuliano. Giuliano was killed in the attack, but Lorenzo survived, and the conspiracy ultimately failed, leading to severe repercussions for the conspirators. The Medici dynasty continued to rule Florence for many years after, despite ongoing rivalries and challenges.
Archbishop Salviati and Francesco Pazzi murdered Giuliano de' Medici on April 26, 1478, in Florence's great cathedral, the Duomo.
