Irina Terpugova is renowned as a researcher of historical Italian Renaissance dynasties and as a tour guide who introduces travelers to the cultural heritage of one of the country's most beautiful regions—Tuscany. Her books are dedicated to such powerful dynasties as the Medici and Borgia, which played a key role in the political, cultural, and religious life of Europe.
The Medici are one of Europe's most legendary families. Bankers and patrons of the arts, relatives of European monarchs, and godfathers of the Renaissance. They were virtuosos of
political intrigue and treacherous plots, mysterious murders, and romantic adventures. For three hundred years, this great dynasty secretly ruled Florence and Tuscany, and also influenced world politics—two queens of France and four popes belonged to this famous family. Thanks to the Medici's patronage, the greatest artists the world has ever seen were able to develop their talents: Donatello, Botticelli, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
In this book, you will meet the representatives of this famous city—witty politicians and skilled diplomats, eminent scholars and rare art connoisseurs who left a remarkable mark on history.
