From this situation in Florence, which you know about, I have felt and still feel a great displeasure for many reasons, as I have also conveyed to the Magnificent Lorenzo de’ Medici, who wrote to me. And certainly, however horrendous the case was, it can better be seen through the great violence of offenses received which pushes others to put themselves at such risk, like these wretches of the Pazzi household did. They did not consider or fear death or the ultimate destruction of their lineage. To be fair, Lorenzo de’ Medici in some instances has let himself go beyond reason, and not only against the Pazzi but also against the Pope, so that what has happened has happened. I am very sure though that this all occurred without the awareness of His Holiness, i.e. that he did not know or consent that anybody would be killed. However, I have known for a while that perhaps His Holiness would not have minded, or would have in fact appreciated and greatly liked a regime change in Florence.
