Stars: 2
Review by: MandyApgar
Not bad but just very dry and lacking in a key area. An account of the (in)famous Italian family who rose from humble banking origins to include a Pope and several key figures of the Renaissance. It is the latter aspect that is rather missing here, for a lot of Lorenzo d'Medici's relationships and working history with key artists and figures is almost totally ignored, with not much said as well about Savanarola - the monk who caused their downfall. It was like "oh, he was here, and said they were immoral, and now they're broke, the end."
