The following year Pope Eugene IV ordered him to recapture Citt di Castello , but Fortebraccio was pushed back. Despite this setback, Eugene made him gonfaloniere of the Papal Army with the task to halt emperor Sigismund, Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund s march in Tuscany and to counter the Prefetti di Vico in the Latium . However, as Fortebraccio pursued mostly his personal interests, especially regarding the possession of Citt di Castello, he was fired. Having received a condotta by the House of Visconti Visconti of Duchy of Milan Milan , in 1434 he moved against Rome . Giovanni Vitelleschi was sent against him, but as he was called to quench a revolt in Romagna , Fortebraccio managed to capture Tivoli, Italy Tivoli . Eugene IV fled from Rome, a Republic, under the Colonna family Colonna aegis, being established in the city. Considering too great for him the lordship of Rome, Fortebraccio moved away. Escaped from a plot against him, he conquered Assisi and married Ludovica da Battifolle. After failing to adhere to the general truce which had momentarily ended the wars in Italy, a league was formed against Fortebraccio, under the capitano generale Francesco Sforza .

File Hercule et Cacus Bandinelli Florence Signoria.jpg thumb right 250px Hercules and Cacus by Baccio Bandinelli, Piazza della Signoria, Florence. This work by the Florentine artist Baccio Bandinelli 1525 1534 was commissioned as a pendant to Michelangelo s David David , which had been commissioned by the republican counsel of Florence, under Piero Soderini gonfaloniere for life , to commemorate the victory over the Medici . The colossus height 5.05 m was originally given to Michelangelo and meant to complement the David but later appropriated by the Medici family as a symbol of their renewed power after their return from exile in 1512, and again in 1530. Although descriptions of its unveiling in 1534 provided verbal and written criticisms of the marble, most were instead aimed at the Medici family for dissolving the Republic and were not aesthetic. A few of the writers of these hypercritical verses were imprisoned by Alessandro de Medici, further suggesting a political commentary. The two harshest critics were Giorgio Vasari and Benvenuto Cellini, both of whom were champions of Michelangelo and rivals of Bandinelli for Medici patronage. Vasari lamented the change of hands from Michelangelo to Bandinelli, and the change of design. Cellini referred to the emphatic musculature as a sack full of melons, forgetting that Michelangelo had received similar deprecation previously by Leonardo da Vinci. Neither Vasari, nor Cellini can be viewed as unbiased resources due to their rivalries. The patrons Medici family were quite satisfied and rewarded Bandinelli greatly for his efforts with land, money, and he was later placed in charge of all sculptural and architectural programs for the Medici under Cosimo I.

The ciompi were a class of labourers in the textile industry who were not represented by any guild . They were among the most radical of the lower class groups, vegetable sellers and crockery vendors and the like, and resented the controlling power that was centred in the Arte della Lana , the textile manufacturing establishment which guided the economic engine of Florence s prosperity, and was supported by the other major Guilds of Florence , the Arti maggiori. Revolt of the Ciompi Image Michele di lando.JPG thumb Statue of Colton di Lando, Loggia del Mercato Nuovo , Florence In 1378, ciompi launched the Revolt of the Ciompi , a briefly successful insurrection of the disenfranchised lower classes, the popolo minuto, which remained as a traumatic memory for members of the major guild s and contributed to the support given to the Medici a generation afterwards, as stabilizers of Florentine order. The revolt briefly brought to power in 14th century Florence an unprecedented level of democracy. The ciompi were defeated by the more conservative elements in Florentine society when the major and minor guilds closed ranks to re establish the old order, a counter revolution in which the knight Salvestro de Medici played a prominent role. In June 1378, the unguilded wool workers took up arms and attacked government buildings. On July 22, the lower classes forcibly took over the government, placing the wool carder Michele di Lando in the executive office of gonfaloniere of justice , and showing their banner at the Palazzo della Signoria .They compelled the governing body, the Signoria of Florence Signoria , to establish additional guilds in order to grant the ciompi access to political office. ref Hibbert, Christopher The H ... more details
