Giuliano de’ Medici Murder ReportDate: April 26, 1478 - Easter SundayWeather: clear, warm, temp at 76 FLocation: The Duoma, Basilica di Santa Maria del FioreSummary:To wipe out the Medici family, both Lorenzo and Giuliano de Medici had to be killed the same day. If only one were killed, the other would go into hiding and the plot would fail. There was one time when the brothers would surely be together- The Easter Church Service. Just as the holy Eucharist (bread and wine) was being blessed, the conspirators attacked.Victim One:Giuliano de’ Medici was stabbed from behind by conspirators. 19 stab wounds were recorded as well as what appears to be blunt trauma to the skull (see photos). He was pronounced dead on the cathedral floor.Victim Two:Lorenzo de’ Medici was also stabbed but escaped with non-life-threatening wounds. His aides locked him safely in the sacristy until the assassins had been dealt with.Evidence Collected: two knives (see photos).
Giuliano de’ Medici’s skull. Puncture wounds can be clearly seen. Further cracks stemming from the punctures are typical of blunt trauma.

AO94 – Statement of Defense Court of Florence Medici Family vs. Pazzi Family Case Number: 16784 Defense statement given by Pierro di Pazzi “My family is completely innocent of these charges. We didn’t need to kill the Medici brothers. We got what we wanted when Pope Sixtus transferred his money into our accounts. We didn’t need to attack the Medici - we aren’t stupid. We knew that would just make the people like them even more. In fact, I contend that it was Lorenzo Medici himself who conspired to have his brother killed. Lorenzo was always interested in power for himself. If Giuliano was out of the picture Lorenzo could be like a king – just as he always wanted. He probably got the idea from that crazy book Machiavelli wrote. Think about it. How did Lorenzo escape this attack with barely a scratch if it was so well planned out? Why was my brother Francesco was put to death before he could even defend himself in court? Why was Lorenzo’s own friend, The Duke of Urbino, involved? The answer is simple. He wanted to frame my family for the murder so he could take power for himself and make us look guilty.” SWORN TO before me this 15th day of June, 1478 Mario di Bastilla Florentine District Judge
