This book is the second part of a trilogy about the legendary Medici family. Historian Marcello Simonetta recounts the life of the dynasty from 1492 to 1527. At the same time, the book can also be seen as a brief history of Italy - a kind of crime novel based on Renaissance mysteries and reconstructed from archival documents. There is not a word of fiction in it: the most unthinkable details, incredible events, extraordinary coincidences and amazing omens are the essential truth and are confirmed by facts. "Foxes and Lions" continues the story begun in "The Mystery of Montefeltro", but can be read as a separate and fascinating work. The events described in the book illustrate the splendor and collapse of the legendary dynasty that revealed to the world two popes and two dukes. The Golden Age is a critical period in the fate of the Medici, and the author, relying on little-known or insufficiently studied documents, offers a behind-the-scenes look at the events.
