The Secrecy, the conspirators, the Rise and Fall of the House of the Medici.

Acquire the knowledge about the history of Europe in perhaps its most important period, about the birth of Science,and about the great collections of Art possessed by Florence.

Their rise, their course upon the mountain tops of power, and their decline and end-and to keep the parts always in subordination to the whole.
