  • May 1527: The third republican government of Florence began on May 16, 1527 following the very serious crisis that arose in relations between Pope Clement VII (Giulio de' Medici) and the emperor Charles V. The citizens of Florence decided to expel the Medici and restore a Republic following the Piagnone model (i.e. religious puritanism), inspired by the directives of Girolamo Savonarola.
