Summary:One of the world's leading historians of Renaissance Italy brings to life here the vibrant--and violent--society of fifteenth-century Florence. His disturbing narrative opens up an entire culture, revealing the dark side of Renaissance man and politician Lorenzo de' Medici.

April Blood moves outward in time and space from that murderous event, unfolding a story of tangled passions, ambition, treac.
