We owe the Medicis a huge debt . They could have spent all their monies on eating , drinking and wenching but they commissioned the greatest and the best to make superb works of art which would outlive them and give pleasure to the succeeding generations .Entire Florence is a grand poster showing off all its different attractions , manmade as well as natural .

They spent most of their money on controlling the Papacy, unifying Tuscany in the Great Duchy (first country in the world to abolish death penalty), and gaining the throne of France with Caterina De Medici, although for a short while.

True, but I'm pretty sure they still did all the drinking, eating, and wenching while being philanthropic lol

Florence is so interesting to me. I usually hate museums with a passion because of all the walking and not being able to understand certain styles of art, because I'm not an artist. But the Renaissance art is beautiful enough to keep me interested! I never expected it. I got to see the Birth of Venus in the Uffizi in person, it was great. And the Duomo, Piazzale Michelangelo, the cobblestone streets, the musicians playing in piazzas...unforgettable. I remember going to get pizza in the evening, and seeing some event going on every night in the piazza near my hotel. Plays, music, art. it was rainy when I went, but that added so much to the whole vibe. It was like walking right through a dreamy, romantic, Renaissance world come to life. I was so inspired that I'm writing a novel set during the Florentine Renaissance. I really wanna go back to Florence for "research" lol
