The Medici Family. It gave the Renaissance many bright personalities - patrons of science and art and prominent statesmen. Representatives of the Medici family ruled the rebellious "cradle of the Renaissance" Florence and occupied the throne of St. Peter, and Catherine de Medici became the most powerful and most influential queen in the history of France... But how did a modest banking family achieve political power and a ducal crown? How did the Medici build relationships with the greatest people of their era - Galileo and Michelangelo, Donatello and Pico della Mirandola, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, Botticelli and the furious reformer of the Roman Catholic Church Savonarola? Paul Strathern in his brilliant study reveals the role of the Medici in the formation and development of not only the Italian, but also the European Renaissance - a role that was not always unambiguous, but invariably significant.
