Lorenzo was born as the son of Pierfrancesco de' Medici and Laudomia Acciaioli.
He received the best education of his time.

In 1482, Lorenzo married Semiramide Appiano, daughter of the Appiani lord
Jacopo III of Piombino. She had a lot of lucrative commercial ties and 
important political influences. This was very strategic for his career as
banker and politician.

Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco was inter alia the proprietor of Villa del Trebbio and
Villa di Castello.

Botticelli's Mercurius on the Primavera painting may have been modeled after
Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco ...
