  • Resumen

  • The Medici rose from an obscure clan of suckups to become the dominant family in Florence, pulling the strings and becoming secret dictators of the Banker’s Republic. Guile, cunning, a little bit of luck, and a lot of finance shenanigans. They were sponsors of the Renaissance, or so they claimed…

    But not every heir is a winner. When the bank starts falling apart, the family will go down with it. Can the Republic be saved??

    This is a long one, buckle up.

    we cover:

    Giovanni Di Bicci de’Medici

    Cosimo the Elder

    Lorenzo the Magnificent

    Piero the Loser

    AND Griolamo Savonarola’s Dominican radicalism.
