The Medici V2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162787596)

The Medici V2 is a historical book written by Colonel G. F. Young. It is the second volume in a series that explores the history of the Medici family, a powerful Italian dynasty that rose to prominence during the Renaissance period. The book covers the period from 1537 to 1574, a time when the Medici family was at the height of its power. It delves into the lives of key figures in the family such as Cosimo I de' Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany, and his wife, Eleonora di Toledo. The Medici V2 also explores the political and cultural climate of the time, including the wars and conflicts that shaped Italy during this period. It discusses the Medici family's role in these events and how they navigated the complex political landscape of Renaissance Italy. Throughout the book, Colonel G. F. Young provides a detailed and engaging account of the Medici family's rise to power and their lasting impact on Italian history. The Medici V2 is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Renaissance or the Medici family.1930. Volume 2 of 2. The history of the Medici is a deeply interesting story; while, besides its intrinsic interest, it helps us to acquire much knowledge about the rebirth of Learning and Art, about the history of Europe in perhaps its most important period, about the birth of Science, and about the great collections of Art possessed by Florence. For without referring largely to all these subjects no true picture of the Medici can be given. My aim has been to write of them as a family-their rise, their course upon the mountain tops of power, and their decline and end-and to keep the parts always in subordination to the whole.
