It’s funny how every Medici on their deathbed advised their successor to be modest, while the latter would be ever more flamboyant. From Giovanni to cosimo to piero to Lorenzo the magnificent.
But I guess it’s hard to keep a low profile while you’re rich.

Judgements are human nature. Feeling bad for Clarice as a woman.

Love how the author compared the Medici with the Mafia godfather, making it easier for the modern mind to understand the Renaissance. Yet, I keep being amazed at how “modern” it was already then.
