The Medici dynasty is one of the most famous in history. The story of the family was inextricably bound up with Florence, the city of the Renaissance, and influenced its destiny from the time of Cosimo the Elder (1389-1464) up to the reign of Gian Gastone (1671-1737). It maintained a firm grasp of political and economic power while also fostering literature and the arts. This book tells the story of the Medici, offering a varied and fascinating portrait of this great dynasty, tracing its origins back to the Middle Ages and dwelling on its most famous exponents, by now emblematic figures in the collective imagination.

Quella dei Medici è una delle dinastie più celebri della storia. Indissolubilmente legata a Firenze, città del Rinascimento, questa famiglia ne ha influenzato le sorti dai tempi di Cosimo il Vecchio (1389-1464) fino a quelli di Gian Gastone (1671-1737), mantenendo un solido potere economico e politico e promuovendo allo stesso tempo le arti e le lettere. Alla loro storia è dedicato questo saggio volto a offrire un ritratto variegato e affascinante di un grande casato, approfondendone le origini risalenti al Medioevo e soffermandosi sulle figure più celebri, oggi fortemente impresse nell’immaginario collettivo.
