Jacopo de' Pazzi (1423 - April 30, 1478) became head of the Pazzi in 1464.[1] His nephew Francesco, his brother Renato and he were executed after the Pazzi conspiracy.[2]
The conspiracy was proposed in Montughi, at Jacopo Pazzi's villa, and it was planned to killing Lorenzo and Giuliano de' Medici and taking over the government of Florence.[3] After the conspiracy, Jacopo went home and he found Francesco with a wound in one leg possibly infected by himself.[4] With 100 armed man, Jacopo ran through the streets crying "Liberty!", but when Francesco was dragged from his bed and hanged, Jacopo escaped from Florence.[5] In the village of Castagno he was recognised and sent back to Florence where he was hanged.[6]
Stefano di Ser Niccolo da Bagnone served as a secretary to Jacopo and tutor to his daughter Caterina.[7] Palazzo Pazzi was commissioned by Jacopo between 1462 and 1472.[8]
