1929. David Loth, in Lorenzo the Magnificent, tells a story of the
exploits of Lorenzo de Medici as a pageant director. Lorenzo was a
great showman. One of the chief interests of his life was
furnishing to the citizens of Florence artistic and magnificent
spectacles of many sorts. He produced many religious pageants with
striking realism and effectiveness. On one occasion, he surpassed
himself in staging a pageant of Pentecost. The descent of the
tongues of fire upon the apostles, however, was just a bit too
realistic. Actual fire was used, the flimsy trimmings and stage
hangings were set ablaze, and not only the stage but the whole
church burned down.
