If your question is about what ruling family Florence (Italy) is famous for, then this would be the Medici family.
richest family in florence
Wealthy merchant families ruled Florence. The Albizzi Family was prominent in Florence from 1382 to 1434. The House of Medici ruled from 1434 to 1737, when there were no more male heirs, after which Austria temporarily ruled Tuscany. Tuscany became a province of the United Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
Lorenzo de Medici ruled Florence from 1469 to 1492.
The government was a city-state ruled by the wealthy Medici family.
That sounds like the Medici.
The Medici were a powerful family that ruled Florence for over 100 years. They supported some of the greatest artists of the renaissance, such as Donatello and Michelangelo. The Medici started out as a merchant family, but eventually their business, influences and friends made them the richest family in Florence and they eventually took power. Cosimo De Medici was the first Medici who ruled Florence, he was the patron of Filippo Brunelleschi, the person who desgined and led the construction of the big Cathedral of Florence Lorenzo de Medici created an art academy where famous artists like Botticelli and Michelangelo made their art. The Pope Leo X was a Medici that was exiled from Florence. Even Galileo belonged to the Medici court, he was the personal teacher of one of the Medici.
Medici is the family of Florence
They were a very powerful family of aristocrats and popes. They were patrons of amazing Renaissance artists, and they also ruled Florence for longer than 100 years.
If you are asking about the origin of the Medici Family, they are not from Sicily. During the Renaissance, the Medici bank had skyrocketed. Sicily unfortunately wasn't as wealthy as Florence, Italy (Medici is based in Florence.) Yes, they are known as "The Kings of Sicily" but rather less, if you had 100 florins in your pocket at the time, you were richer than more than a kilometer of Sicily.
