Giuliano de' Medici

Giuliano di Piero de' Medici (1453 - 1478) was a Florentine nobleman, and the brother of Lorenzo de' Medici.

He was also both father and uncle to Giulio de' Medici, through his mistress and cousin, Fioretta Gorini; though the boy was born a month after Giuliano's death.

Death
On April 26, 1478, Giuliano attended High Mass in Florence with his mistress, Fioretta Gorini, and his brother Lorenzo. However, before they could enter the Santa Maria del Fiore, they were attacked by the Pazzi conspirators.

Bernardo Baroncelli delivered the first blow, and slashed Guiliano in the chest. As Francesco de' Pazzi advanced on him, Guiliano begged for mercy, but Francesco refused, and stabbed him nineteen times in the chest, killing him.
