With the death of Cosimo in 1464, his son Piero took over the family. Known as “the Gouty” because he was often bed-ridden by the condition. Not as celebrated as his father (Cosimo) or son (Lorenzo), he did successfully remain at the helm of the family for 5 years and put down a coup in 1458 led by ally-turned-foe, Luca Pitti. Piero was married to an extraordinary woman named Lucrezia Tornabuoni, who was as talented a poet as she was a stateswoman. Piero’s greatest artistic legacy was the commissioning of the extraordinary Chapel of the Magi inside of the Medici Palace.
