Stefano Dall’Aglio sheds new light on the notorious Florentine
Lorenzino de’ Medici (also known as Lorenzaccio) and on two of
the most infamous assassinations of Italian Renaissance history. In
1537 Lorenzino changed the course of history by murdering
Alessandro de’ Medici, first duke of Florence, and paving the way
for the accession of the new duke, Cosimo I. In 1548 Lorenzino was
killed in Venice in revenge for the assassination he had committed.
Basing his work on extensive research in the historical archives of
Florence and Simancas, Dall’Aglio reconstructs the events
surrounding these murders and involving the Medici, their
loyalists, the Florentine republican exiles, and some of the most
powerful sovereigns of the time. The first publication in a
century, and the first work in English, to examine the life of
Lorenzino de’ Medici, this fascinating revisionist history is as
gripping as a detective novel, as Dall’Aglio unravels a
500-year-old mystery, revealing that behind the bloody death of the
duke’s assassin there was the Emperor Charles V.
