Giuliano de' Medici

Giuliano de' Medici (28 October 1453 – 26 April 1478) was the second son of Piero de' Medici (the Gouty) and Lucrezia Tornabuoni. As co-ruler of Florence, with his brother Lorenzo the Magnificent, he complemented his brother's image as the "patron of the arts" with his own image as the handsome, sporting "golden boy". He was killed in a plot known as the Pazzi conspiracy in 1478.

This article is about the brother of Lorenzo de' Medici. For other people with the same name, see Giuliano de' Medici, Duke of Nemours and Giuliano de' Medici (archbishop).
