    The Medici family rose to power in Florence due to their wealth accumulated through banking. Cosimo de' Medici solved problems facing Florence and had a vision for beautifying the city. He commissioned works like the Basilica of San Lorenzo to realize his plans while keeping them secret from his enemies. When facing execution, Cosimo escaped into exile, but cleverly returned to power. The Medici bank grew to become the most powerful financial institution in Europe under Cosimo's leadership. He also patronized artists like the sculptor who created David.
