About the book

The Rise and Fall of the House of Medici traces the extraordinary history of the Florentine family whose wealth and political influence helped shape Renaissance Italy. From banking success and political dominance to patronage of artists and eventual decline, the Medicis were central to the cultural development of Florence. The book combines politics, family ambition and art history in a vivid account of one of Europe's most famous dynasties.
