Primera parte de la saga histórica que recrea la historia de la familia más poderosa del Renacimiento. Novela ganadora del Premio Bancarella 2017. Florencia, 1429. A la muerte del patriarca Giovanni de Médici, sus hijos Cosimo y Lorenzo se encuentran al frente de un auténtico imperio financiero pero, al mismo tiempo, cercados por enemigos acérrimos como Rinaldo degli Albizzi y Palla Strozzi, exponentes de las más poderosas familias florentinas. Valiéndose de su inteligencia y su falta de prejuicios, los dos hermanos conquistan el poder político, hallando el equilibrio entre un implacable sentido de los negocios y el amor por el arte y la cultura. Mientras los trabajos para la construcción de la cúpula de Santa María del Fiore se ejecutan con la dirección de Filippo Brunelleschi, los adversarios de siempre continúan tejiendo sus tramas. Entre ellos se halla también una mujer de infinita belleza, pero de peligroso encanto, capaz de atrapar el corazón de un hombre. Entre homicidios, traiciones e intrigas de palacio, esta novela narra la saga de la familia más poderosa del Renacimiento, el inicio de su ascenso a la Señoría florentina en una sucesión de intrigas y giros inesperados que tienen como protagonistas a capitanes sin escrúpulos, envenenadoras fatales, sanguinarios mercenarios suizos... y muchos otros personajes que mantendrán al lector pegado a sus páginas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This first volume on the Medici family is about Cosimo de Medici, Lorenzo's brother, founder of the Medici dynasty.

A dazzling piece of Italian history of the infamous family that become one of the most powerful in Europe, weaving its history with Renaissance greats from Leonardo da Vinci to Galileo Against the background of an age which saw the rebirth of ancient and classical learning, The Medici is a remarkably modern story of power, money and ambition. Strathern paints a vivid narrative of the dramatic rise and fall of the Medici family in Florence, as well as the Italian Renaissance which they did so much to sponsor and encourage. Strathern also follows the lives of many of the great Renaissance artists with whom the Medici had dealings, including Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello; as well as scientists like Galileo and Pico della Mirandola; and the fortunes of those members of the Medici family who achieved success away from Florence, including the two Medici popes and Catherine de' Médicis, who became Queen of France and played a major role in that country through three turbulent reigns. ‘A great overview of one family's centuries-long role in changing the face of Europe’ Irish Independent

Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) avea 38 de ani când, aproape falit, s-a mutat la Florența unde a acceptat o comandă de la Galeria Uffizi, care i-a propus să scrie un text în memoria familiei Medici, care au fost la originea creării galeriei, unul dintre cele mai frumoase muzee din lume. Dumas, va extrage din această frescă ingredientele care vor face succesul marilor sale romane de mai târziu. Bazându-se pe mai multe surse, inclusiv cronicile florentine din secolele XIV și XVI, Machiavelli, Sismondi etc., Dumas excelează în arta de a transforma anecdota pitorească într-o scenă romantică (scena asasinării ducelui Alexandre de Médicis de către Lorenzaccio este un model al genului!). Como the Elder, Laurent the Magnificent, Leo X, Ferdinand I, etc... Dumas readuce la viață măreția și decadența acestor personaje fabuloase într-o carte care, concepută inițial ca o serie limitată, nu a fost regăsită mult mai tărziu.

SOON TO BE THE TV SERIES 'THE SERPENT QUEEN', STARRING SAMANTHA MORTON The bestselling revisionist biography of one of the great women of the 16th century Orphaned in infancy, Catherine de Medici was the sole legitimate heiress to the Medici family fortune. Married at fourteen to the future Henri II of France, she was constantly humiliated by his influential mistress Diane de Poitiers. When her husband died as a result of a duelling accident in Paris, Catherine was made queen regent during the short reign of her eldest son (married to Mary Queen of Scots and like many of her children he died young). When her second son became king she was the power behind the throne. She nursed dynastic ambitions, but was continually drawn into political and religious intrigues between Catholics and Protestants that plagued France for much of the later part of her life. It had always been said that she was implicated in the notorious Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre, together with the king and her third son who succeeded to the throne in 1574, but was murdered. Her political influence waned, but she survived long enough to ensure the succession of her son-in-law who had married her daughter Margaret.

At its height, Renaissance Florence was a center of enormous wealth, power, and influence. A republican city-state funded by trade and banking, its often bloody political scene was dominated by rich mercantile families, the most famous of which were the Medici. This enthralling book charts the family's huge influence on the political, economic and cultural history of Florence. Beginning in the early 1430s with the rise of the dynasty under the near-legendary Cosimo de Medici, it moves through their golden era as patrons of some of the most remarkable artists and architects of the Renaissance, to the era of the Medici Popes and Grand Dukes, Florence's slide into decay and bankruptcy, and the end, in 1737, of the Medici line.

A fresh, revelatory, and shockingly revisionist narrative of the rise and fall of the House of Medici, by the acclaimed author of The Cardinal’s Hat and The Borgias. Having founded the bank that became the most powerful in Europe in the fifteenth century, the Medici gained massive political power in Florence, raising the city to a peak of cultural achievement and becoming its hereditary dukes. Among their number were no fewer than three popes and a powerful and influential queen of France. Their influence brought about an explosion of Florentine art and architecture. Michelangelo, Donatello, Fra Angelico, and Leonardo were among the artists with whom they were socialized and patronized. Thus runs the "accepted view” of the Medici. However, Mary Hollingsworth argues that the idea that the Medici were enlightened rulers of the Renaissance is a fiction that has now acquired the status of historical fact. In truth, the Medici were as devious and immoral as the Borgias—tyrants loathed in the city they illegally made their own. In this dynamic new history, Hollingsworth argues that past narratives have focused on a sanitized and fictitious view of the Medici—wise rulers, enlightened patrons of the arts, and fathers of the Renaissance—but that in fact their past was reinvented in the sixteenth century, mythologized by later generations of Medici who used this as a central prop for their legacy. Hollingsworth's revelatory re-telling of the story of the family Medici brings a fresh and exhilarating new perspective to the story behind the most powerful family of the Italian Renaissance.
