Medici Money: Banking, Metaphysics and Art in Fifteenth-Century Florence (Enterprise (W.W. Norton Paperback)) Book
“A swift and brilliant synthesis of finance, politics, and history.”—Ben Sisario, New York Times Book Review Before they achieved renown as patrons of the arts and de facto rulers of Florence, the Medici family earned their fortune in banking.
