Timeline

1472–1492Florence · Republic of FlorencePiero was the eldest son of "Lorenzo the Magnificent," received a humanist education in Florence, and inherited the family's de facto control of the republic after his father's death in 1492, but was inferior to his father in both political skill and prestige.
1492–1494Florence · Republic of FlorenceAfter taking power he faced a change of papacy and turmoil in Naples; when Charles VIII marched south in 1494, Piero conceded too much to the French king, provoking a strong backlash among Florentine citizens and nobles, and his rule quickly collapsed.
1494–1503Venice · Republic of VeniceForced to leave Florence in November 1494, he subsequently moved through Venice and elsewhere, taking part in a restoration attempt around 1500 that failed; he drowned in the Garigliano River in 1503, and the Medici did not return to Florence until 1512.
