Answer:

He thought italian was the most beautiful language for music.

Step-by-step explanation:

The medici family was one of the most powerful family in the medieval an renaissance ages they were bankers and eventually grew so powerfull that the church and kings from those times needed to accuse them of witchcraft and other crimes to lower their power, they thought that italian was the most beautiful language for music and were patrons of various famous artists that were on their payroll constantly.
