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.

I keep being amazed how the artists / scientists laid ground for our modern day living. The maths, the accounting systems, the architecture…
These are the names to be remembered, but there are so many names that I haven’t heard of, because people only know Da Vinci, Michelangelo…
