THE MEDICI -- GODFATHERS OF THE RENAISSANCE
Before we ever went to Florence, we watched this amazing 4-part series on PBS.
When we got home, we again watched the vivid story telling and visuals of each one-hour segment.
Only, this time, it was more fun because the No. 1 authority -- quoted throughout the fabulous documentary about the Medici family's control on Firenze for multiple centuries -- was our new friend, Marcello Fantoni,
Fantoni directs Kent State University's program in Florence.
Both of us are Kent grads, so it was gratifying to be hosted by Fantoni when we visited Florence and it is gratifying to see he was the top expert for the Medici program (though at the time, he worked for a different university, so Kent is not credited in the program.
You can find THE MEDICI -- GODFATHERS OF THE RENAISSANCE on youtube.
