Hello you seem to be the medici guy. May I ask for recommendations, books, ect, on how to get more into learning about them without it feeling utterly overwhelming? There’s so much and I have no idea where to start
you might have me confused with someone else, I'm a Sforza Family Enthusiast and Medici Hater
uhhhhhhh that said, I'd recommend picking one of the Big Two (Cosimo, Lorenzo), narrow it down by whatever subject interests you most (arts, banking, politics) and go forwards or backwards from there, probably
additionally, Mary Hollingsworth's The Medici as a general overview to the whole family, and The Medici Women (N. Tomas)
#I first started learning about the Medici family in a class I took in highschool on Dante#and then jumped forward to Machiavelli and everything else along the way has been against my will lmao#I finally finished a biography on Lorenzo I started ages ago for information on Galeazzo Sforza#anyway for Lorenzo: Magnifico (Unger) and for Cosimo I'm currently reading Kent's book on him#ask tag
