Bankers, masters of Florence, popes, humanists, and patrons, the Medici embodied the Italian Renaissance. From the 14th to the 18th century, they were major players on the European political chessboard. From Cosimo the Elder to Lorenzo the Magnificent and Cosimo I, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany, the rise of the Medici was exceptional: they married their daughters to kings, lent money to monarchs, became popes, and were at the heart of the major social, cultural, and political currents of their time. Kings without crowns, they were the masters of the Republic of Florence. By encouraging and funding emerging geniuses, the Tuscan Renaissance shone with magnificent brilliance thanks to them. From Dante's Florence to the eve of the French Revolution, Marcel Brion brings to life the fascinating destinies of this captivating lineage.
