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' Medicis, 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
