Stefano Da Bagnone
Stefano da Bagnone (1418 - 3 May 1478) was an Italian presbyterian, known for having taken part in the Pazzi conspiracy against Lorenzo de' Medici. Biography Stefano was born in 1418 in Bagnone. Having taken his religious vows, he entered the service of Jacopo de' Pazzi, a Florentine banker, as chaplain and tutor to his daughter Caterina. Of republican and liberal ideas, he was hostile to the government of Lorenzo de' Medici because he considered it tyrannical. For this reason, in April 1478, he agreed to take part in the conspiracy conceived by Jacopo to kill Lorenzo and his brother Giuliano. Initially, the two were to be eliminated during a dinner in their palace by the mercenary Giovanni Battista Montesecco, but Giuliano's absence prevented the project from being carried out. The conspirators then decided to eliminate the Medici brothers during the Easter mass on 26 April 1478, in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. However, Montesecco refused to kill on ...

House Of Medici
The House of Medici ( , ) was an Italian banking family and political dynasty that first began to gather prominence under Cosimo de' Medici, in the Republic of Florence during the first half of the 15th century. The family originated in the Mugello region of Tuscany, and prospered gradually until it was able to fund the Medici Bank. This bank was the largest in Europe during the 15th century and facilitated the Medicis' rise to political power in Florence, although they officially remained citizens rather than monarchs until the 16th century. The Medici produced four popes of the Catholic Church—Pope Leo X (1513–1521), Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), Pope Pius IV (1559–1565) and Pope Leo XI (1605)—and two queens of France— Catherine de' Medici (1547–1559) and Marie de' Medici (1600–1610). In 1532, the family acquired the hereditary title Duke of Florence. In 1569, the duchy was elevated to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany after territorial expansion. The Medici ruled ...

People Executed By Italy By Hanging
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
