Take Advantage Of Lorenzo De Medici Assembled By Charles L. Mee Jr. In Digital Format

but concise coverage of some major events in the life of Lorenzo, Having been to Florence several times, I found this an interesting enough account to seek additional information, Not much detail, but interesting perspective on how Lorenzo influenced the Renaissance, Interesting man and period in history, Well researched, but rather dull, A concise history

Not a bad read a little more elaboration on the times in Italy would have helped.
History on the Medicci family is too short and ought to have been detailed before starting with Lorenzo, Just long enough to give you a really good background and insight into Lorenzo without boring you to tears, It moves steadily and easily forward, It kept me interested and engaged, which is almost unheard of for me! A good introduction to the Medici's in general as well as a biography of Lorenzo.
It is brief and reads pretty quickly so it really is a good "starter" book for someone interested in the family but not willing to immerse themselves in a long work.
Simple ,informative story of Lorenzo Medici's life, He was a member of a prominent ruling family in Renaissance Florence and a great patron of the arts, A shame I had not read this before we went to Florence last year, A short but pretty solid explanation of where the Medicis came from and how they attained the prominence they did and were at the centre of the renaissance.
Recommended for anyone who is visiting the city, Lorenzo de' Medici was never an old man, He died inat the age of fortythree, He came to power in fifteenthcentury Florence at the age of twenty, In the twentyodd years of his rule, this banker, politician, international diplomat, freewheeling poet and songwriter, and energetic revolutionary helped to give shape, tone, and tempo to that truly dazzling time of Western history, the Renaissance.
This book, by awardwinning author Charles L, Mee, Jr. , recounts the remarkable life of Lorenzo de Medici and of the times in which he lived, Although short aboutpages Mee's little bio of Lorenzo the Magnificent provides a good introduction to Fifteenth Century Florencenice as I prep for travel.
Well written, hitting the highlights without being simpleminded, Mee's prolifica playwright, an historian, a professor of Theater at Columbiaso he comes with better than average creed, Most of the story seems to be based on a few of the great primary sources for this period and these people: Vasari, Machiavelli, various letters from the times.
Nothing particularly new, but well worth reading, Charles L. Mee is an American playwright, historian and author known for his collage like style of playwriting, which makes use of radical reconstructions of found texts.
He is also a professor of theater at
