Rinaldo degli Albizzi (* 1370 in Florence, † 1442 in Ancona ) from the Florentine patrician family Albizzi was the one of the family, finally succumbed in the power struggle with the Medici.

In the years 1432 and 1433 Florence had denied another costly war with Milan in conjunction with Venice. The mismanagement of the campaign drew a dispute between the guided by Rinaldo degli Albizzi aristocratic and out of Cosimo de Medici People's Party after, even though both had previously approved the war. Rinaldo was determined to crush the Medici party, successfully Cosimo's exile by. The Albizzi tried to strengthen the transfer of extraordinary powers to the Capitano del popolo their position, but the Medici had still great popular support. Rinaldo's proposal of a coup took place in his own party no resonance, and he could not prevent the election of a pro- Medici Signoria 1434. He and other leaders of the party were summoned to the palace to counter allegations of a conspiracy against the state. He responded by calling together 800 armed supporters. A Revolution IV was only averted by the intervention of Pope Eugene, who was at the time in Florence.

A Parlamento was convened, and the selected Balia decided the return of Cosimo and the banishment of Rinaldo degli Albizzi Rodolfo Peruzzi, Niccolo Barbadori and others, despite a weak attempt of Eugenius, to protect them. On October 6, 1434 Cosimo returned to Florence, and in the next three centuries, the history of the city is determined by that of the House of Medici.
