Lorenzaccio is a French play of the Romantic period written by Alfred de Musset in 1834 set in 16th-century Florence and depicting Lorenzino de’ Medici who killed Florence’s tyrant Alessandro de’ Medici his cousin. Having engaged in debaucheries to gain the Duke’s confidence he loses the trust of Florence’s citizens thus earning the insulting surname Lorenzaccio. Though he kills Alessandro he knows he will never return to his former state.
