About this ebook
Adventure, romance, politics, and murder filled the life of Lorenzo DiMedici. A banker who inherited the leadership of Florence, Italy during the 15th century used his charisma and financial influence to create a humanistic city full of art and culture despite plots against him by Pope Sixtus IV, the Pazzi family and King Ferrante of Naples who would mummify those whose spirits he desired to be surrounded by. After the murder of his brother, Giuliano, during Easter Sunday services, Lorenzo had to make the difficult choice of meeting with King Ferrante alone and unarmed or go to war.
