The Pazzi conspiracy (Italian: Congiura dei Pazzi) was a failed plot by members of the Pazzi family and others to displace the Medici family as rulers of Renaissance Florence.
On 26 April 1478 there was an attempt to assassinate Lorenzo de' Medici and his brother Giuliano. Lorenzo was wounded but survived; Giuliano was killed.
In the aftermath of the plot many of the conspirators – and others accused of being conspirators – were executed, some by hanging from the windows of the Palazzo della Signoria; there were some eighty executions in all. The surviving Pazzi family members were banished from Florence.
