The Medici family, known as the Godfather of the Renaissance, discovered, funded and protected many artists, scientists and writers of the Renaissance, including the three heroes of the Renaissance: Michelangelo Bonarotti, the outstanding representative of the all-round talent Leonardo da Vinci, known as the "most perfect representative of the Renaissance", and Sandro Botticelli, the pioneer in portraits. At the same time, they also funded and protected Galileo Galilei, the great father of physics, as well as many philosophers, architects, art theorists and others, thus ushering in a renaissance of art, economy, and technology from Europe to the world.
