One reason education was important to Cosimo de' Medici because his banks needed workers who could read, write, and understand math.

Portrait of Giovanni de' Medici as a Child was created in 1545.

The Medici family became the most powerful in Florence from 1418 to 1494 due to their wealth, primarily derived from banking and trade, which allowed them to gain significant political influence. They strategically supported the arts and humanities during the Renaissance, fostering a cultural environment that further enhanced their status. By establishing alliances through marriages and patronage, they secured loyalty from various factions within Florence. Additionally, their control of the Florentine government, including key positions in the Signoria, solidified their dominance in the city.

The Medici family significantly influenced Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Raphael through their patronage and support of the arts during the Renaissance. Their financial backing allowed these artists to explore innovative techniques and themes, fostering an environment of creativity and intellectual exchange. For instance, the Medici commissioned works that not only showcased their wealth but also reflected humanist ideals, which resonated in the art produced by these masters. This relationship helped elevate their status and provided them with the resources necessary to push the boundaries of artistic expression.

La Tour d'Au'vergne' is the name of my French royal family, orginally from the village of LaTour in Auvergne, dating from the early 10th century; it divided into several branches, including Counts of Auvergne, Dukes of Bouillon and Al'bert, and Viscounts of Turenne; see BOUILLON and TURENNE.

Madeleine de La Tour d'Auvergne (d. 1519) married Lorenzo de'Medici, Duke of Urbino. Lorenzo de'Medici was part of the powerful banking family, de'Medici.

If your thinking of the same lorenzo, Lorenzo II de' Medici, Duke of Urbino, then yes, and he was her father.

She was Roman Catholic-when she was a teenager her Uncle was the Pope.

Here are some quotes or statements by Lorenzo de Medici=

Three things in my judgment are called for for a perfect work of painting, namely, a good support, a wall or wood or cloth or whatever it may be, on which the paint is applied; a master who is very good both in drawing and in color; and, besides this, that the matters painted be, in their own nature, attractive and pleasant to the eyes. -Lorenzo de Medici (1449 - 1492) -

Whoever wants to be happy, let him be so: of tomorrow there's no knowing. -Lorenzo de medici-

How beautiful is youth, that is always slipping away! -Lorenzo de medici-

Too much knowing is misery -Lorenzo de Medici-

__"I think it casts a brilliant light on our estate [pubic reputation] and it seems to me that the monies were well spent and I am very pleased with this."

~ Lorenzo de' Medici

__"What I have dreamed in one hour is worth more than what you have done in four."

~ Lorenzo de' Medici (to a friend who scolded him for sleeping late, qtd. in Baldassare Castiglione, "The Book of the Courtier")

__"...I was approaching town along the road that leads into the portal of Faenza, when I observed such throngs proceeding through the streets, that I won't even dare to guess how many men made up the retinue. The names of many I could easily say: I knew a number of them personally...There's one I saw among those myriads, with whom I'd been close friends for many years, as I had known him since we'd both been lads...."

~ Lorenzo de' Medici (from his narrative poem, "Il Simposio," qtd. in Miles J. Unger's "Magnifico: The Brilliant Life and Violent Times of Lorenzo de' Medici." New York: Simon & Schuster. 2008. Print.)

The Black Queen

Piero de Medici (the Gouty) died in 1469 due to gout and lung disease.

After spending some time researching your question, I have found that there is a book by Cameron West entitled The Medici Dagger. It tells the story of Leonardo Da Vinci's creation of the Medici Dagger 500 years ago. According to the book, he invented the dagger using an alloy that was both lighter and stronger than anything else known to mankind. Once invented, Da Vinci realizes that the dagger will be used for evil. So he hides it and encodes a map called the Circles of Truth for future generations to find it. In the book a Hollywood stuntman sets out on a journey to find the dagger, before a billionaire munitions dealer gets his hands on it. The book is sold as "fiction", so I am assuming that this was a fun follow-up to Dan Brown's book The Davinci Code which has become one of the most widely read books of all time.
