MASTERS OF FLORENCE

Michelangelo, Brunelleschi and the Medici. Artist, scientist, engineer and bankers. All of them are interwoven. Michelangelo was protected by the lord of Florence, Lorenzo the Magnificent, who welcomed him at his palace when he was only a boy. Brunelleschi also worked for the Medici family, projecting the Old Sacristy inside San Lorenzo Church, where the first Medici are buried. Galileo was hired by Cosimo II de’ Medici as court astronomer and mathematician and the great scientist dedicated his masterpiece Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems to Ferdinando II de’ Medici. In conclusion, the Medici family’s patronage and political support of the arts helped catalyze the Renaissance into a fully fledged cultural movement.
