The Pazzi Conspiracy is a real Renaissance assassination plot, the 1478 attempt by a rival family to murder the Medici brothers during Mass in Florence Cathedral, with a bishop and the Pope tangled up in it. I adore a conspiracy this old and this well-documented, all daggers and altar cloths and spectacular revenge. Giuliano died, Lorenzo survived, and the payback rewrote the city. History proving, again, that the ruthless real plots outclass the invented ones.

This film reconstructs the Pazzi conspiracy, the 1478 plot by a rival family to break the Medici grip on Renaissance Florence through the assassination of Lorenzo and Giuliano de Medici. It captures the intrigue, ambition, and bloodshed that shook a city at the height of its power. The account brings political scheming in Renaissance Italy vividly to life. It is a gripping watch for anyone drawn to the Medici, Florence, and the dark side of a golden age. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
