The Medici Family Funds Art in Florence
Wealthy merchants, like the Medici family, turned their interest to beautifying cities like Florence. They funded artists, architects, and scientists to study Greek and Roman buildings and texts, then to build new Italian achievements. Without money from trade, the achievements of the Renaissance would not have been created.
The MediciThe Medici family gained their wealth from the Medici Bank which financed merchants in Italy. Eventually the family came to rule Florence. They funded works of art throughout the city and became influential when family members became Pope (4 of them) and they married into royal families throughout Europe.
