About this listen

At the height of their power, the Medici transform Florence into the radiant heart of the Renaissance, patronizing artists, philosophers, and scholars who redefine European culture. Yet beneath the brilliance of Lorenzo il Magnifico’s golden age, political instability, religious upheaval, and growing resentment begin to erode the foundations of Medici rule. From Savonarola’s fiery revolution to papal ambitions and dynastic power, the family’s greatest triumphs quietly sow the seeds of future decline.
