About this listen
In this episode, we trace the early rise of the Medici family from modest merchants in Florence to the financial force behind the city’s political transformation. Through banking, alliances, and quiet influence, Giovanni di Bicci and Cosimo de’ Medici built a network of power that reshaped Florence without ever claiming a crown. As rival families conspire and exile threatens their ascent, the foundations of a new dynasty begin to take hold.
