[close] Enter at your own peril... this is the most dangerous group in all of Europe! Haha no, not really. We aren't even European... well, not all of us! If you have stumbled across this page, either you are or have a friend who thinks you are a history geek or a writing freak (in a compassionate way :D) who would appreciate what we do here, so we present... Giulianzo's Plato's Academy of Florence and the Confraternity of the Magi ; the new, improved, and awesome group that totally appreciates all things relating to the Mr. Medicis (especially Lorenzo and Giuliano [hence Giulian-zo's Academy]), writing, history (generally from before 0 to 1850), etc. The only things that are better than the original one is that 1) We are free to be heretic as we like; 2) The internet rocks, and 3) We have air conditioning! If you haven't already, before joining this group, you might want to become at least a little familiar with the books in the bookshelf. Add your own too :) Please participate and have fun :)
