Exploring the rise and fall of a dynasty that wielded immense influence over Europe, the narrative focuses on the Medici family's patronage of renowned artists and scientists like Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Galileo. Their transformation of Florence into a cultural hub is juxtaposed with the self-indulgence and moral decline that ultimately led to their downfall. This account, complemented by twenty-four pages of black-and-white illustrations, offers a captivating look at a powerful family's legacy and its impact on history.
