Until It Fills the Whole World

"The Medici were not loved; they were feared. The assassins aimed at the fear factor, hoping that the Florentines would conclude that they were not invincible and would flock to the Pazzi banner. Their mistake was to underestimate the raw courage of Lorenzo, who survived their attack, and to kill Giuliano, who might have been able to lead a successful defense." - Paul Strathern, "The Medici: Power, Money, and Ambition in the Italian Renaissance"

The assassination of Giuliano de' Medici was mentioned in several primary sources from the time period, including contemporary chronicles and letters. One of the most important primary sources is the "Diary of Luca Landucci," a Florentine wool merchant who witnessed the events of the Pazzi conspiracy and recorded them in his diary. Landucci's diary provides a detailed and vivid account of the conspiracy and the events leading up to the assassination of Giuliano de' Medici.

Other primary sources that mention the assassination of Giuliano de' Medici include the letters of the Medici family, particularly those of Lorenzo de' Medici and his mother, Lucrezia Tornabuoni. These letters provide insights into the personal reactions of the Medici family to the events of the conspiracy and the death of Giuliano.

It was also a significant event in the history of Florence, as it marked the beginning of a period of political instability and violence known as the "War of the Eight Saints." In the aftermath of the conspiracy, the Medici family consolidated their power and launched a ruthless campaign of revenge against their enemies, which included the execution of many of the conspirators and their supporters.
