The murder of Poliziano's father in May 1464 left the family poverty-stricken, and not later than 1469 Poliziano was sent to Florence.
Poliziano was, with Lorenzo de' Medici, one of those mainly responsible for the revaluation of vernacular literature.
Poliziano was with Lorenzo and Giuliano when the latter was killed by the Pazzi on April 26, 1478; on this episode he wrote the dramatic report Pactianae coniurationis commentarium (1478).
