What famous Florence family is known for patronizing many Renaissance artists?

The Italian Renaissance may not have been born without the patronage of the Medici family, headed by Lorenzo. The wealthy Florentine family funded some of the greats (or got their rich friends to fund them), including Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Leonardo da Vinci. Lorenzo the Magnificent, as he was known in his circle, was actually an artist himself, so it's no doubt he had an eye for the greats.
