House of Medici | 
so-soI admit that I confused this family with the Borgia family. They were very similar, in fact, so I don't feel too foolish. They started as bankers in Florence. It seemed to me that every other generation was patrons to the arts, while the other generations were lazy and/or violent. The family was often fighting the papacy except when they had a son or nephew as a pope. I'm glad I read it. I learned more about Italy's history before unification.
Crazeedi Would you definitely recommend? I need a good book to immerse myself and I love reading about this period 3d
Butterfinger @crazeedi I can't honestly recommend it unless you want to take notes. All the names that the family was fighting ran over each other, and I would forget why they're fighting. It was interesting to learn the different personalities and how each one added to art and architecture. 3d
