“We live in a world of constant news, made ephemeral and irrelevant by its continuous flow.”
Marcello Simonetta, The Montefeltro Conspiracy: A Renaissance Mystery Decoded
“He tried on a decorative breastplate but thought it made him look too fat. Instead he chose a rich suit of crimson wool lined with sable.”
Marcello Simonetta, The Montefeltro Conspiracy: A Renaissance Mystery Decoded
“When the condottiere Francesco Sforza suddenly became Duke of Milan and struck the Peace of Lodi (1454), the golden age of the Renaissance started in earnest. Francesco offered military protection to his longtime friend Cosimo de’ Medici in exchange for financial support. The solid alliance between Milan and the Medici formed an axis of relative stability within the restless Italian peninsula and enhanced patronage of the arts and letters, sparking an explosion of artistic creativity and humanistic culture.”
