"He it is who decides peace and war… He is king in all but
name.”
Quote about Cosimo de' Medici
The Medici family rose to power in Florence in the 1400s, and
controlled the city for a large part of the Renaissance. Their
legacy lives on through much of the art, culture, and
architecture that we now take for granted.
In this episode we tell the story of how they rose to power and
developed the idea of modern philanthropy.
In today's episode we cover:
The founding of the Medici bank
The bank and the Vatican City
Cosimo de Medici: "The Father of The Fatherland"
Patronage of the arts
Lorenzo The Magnificent
The attempted assassination of Lorenzo in front of 10,000
people
Being held prisoner by the King of Naples
The Medici entering the Vatican City
Making marriage matches
The legacy of The Medici
