Immerse yourself in the vivid recount of Dino Compagni, whose chronicles provide a rare, first-hand glimpse into the fabric of medieval Florence—a world where money and power intertwine. His narrative brings to life the era’s economic intricacies and the political machinations leading up to the pivotal Battle of Campaldino, that we'll cover in our next episode.

With this 4th episode continues our first season, "Florentine Blood": a tale of bitter rivalries and shrewd politics, that shaped the history of Italy for centuries to come.
