poetry might not convince me to pay attention or care about the medici family beyond necessity, but you CAN convince me to turn the spotlights directly onto lorenzo de' medici with phrasing like this. intimately linked. even wedded, you say. and with galeazzo maria sforza's named mentioned. fascinating choice of words.

Magnifico: the Brilliant Life and Times of Lorenzo de’ Medici, Miles J. Unger

#(staring intently at this phrasing) and with galeazzo maria sforza you say #its because galeazzo is here. im paying attention bc when any of the maria sforzas show up and im there baby #anyway i talk shit about the medici but i am singularly curious about guiliano. not for. medici reasons. he has such a read on #francesco de' pazzi it makes me write some really high drama soap opera plot bullshit #this isn't a joke. there's a version where they had summer time fling that ended like saltwater in the eyes #also i say pay attention beyond necessity. to clarify. i take my job as a medici hater seriously. i will read many texts abt them #admittedly its the other medicis im usually reading abt bc lorenzo is competing against the sforzas for my attention #i am. also. constructing an hbo renaissance conspiracy show in my head. you can't half ass the cast or the plot u know #not for a show that exists as vivid scenes in your imagination.#anyway i become intrigued by the medici when its connected to One Of My Guys. none of the medici are My Guys. there needs to be a third #none of the brigata except maybe braccio are my guys either. you need a sforza or one of machiavelli's guys
