Historical Tours: Step back in time to see how the Medici helped give birth to the Renaissance
Empires - The Medici: Godfathers of the Renaissance (2004)
Starring: Mario Biagioli, Dr. Jerry Brotton Director: Justin Hardy
Product Description
From a small Italian community in 15th-century Florence, the Medici family would rise to rule Europe in many ways. Using charm, patronage, skill, duplicity and ruthlessness, they would amass unparalleled wealth and unprecedented power. They would also ignite the most important cultural and artistic revolution in Western history--the European Renaissance. But the forces of change the Medici helped unleash would one day topple their ordered world. An epic drama played out in the courts, cathedrals and palaces of Europe, this series is both the tale of one family's powerful ambition and of Europe's tortured struggle to emerge from the ravages of the dark ages.
