The Italian Renaissance: Prosperity and Enlightenment

Lorenzo de' Medici speaks about the prosperity that was ushered in by his family during the Renaissance and how that prosperity has carried through today's pop culture.

From Lorenzo the Magnificent to today's movers and shakers, Prince Lorenzo colors history with tales from his family and the impact his ancestors have all had on our lives today. From patrons of the arts to popes, the influence of the de' Medicis may be found everywhere. Prince Lorenzo tells his audience how a family of merchants became the biggest bankers and biggest philanthropists in the world. The de' Medici Dynasty, which created the Italian Renaissance, symbolizes unparalleled historical contributions to art, politics, banking, cuisine, medicine, accounting, philanthropy, commerce, geography, agriculture, religion, textiles, and fashion. Even America itself would not exist as we know it without the de' Medicis' Bank financing Queen Isabella's investment in Columbus' expeditions. The de' Medicis revolutionized the banking business, inventing the first paper check. They contributed to science and the study of the stars by contributing to Galileo's research. But it is in the world of art that their contributions to the world are most greatly known and felt. Patrons of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and countless other artists ...the legacy of the de' Medicis lives on. Works such as Michelangelo's Pieta and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel continue to inspire.

Prince Lorenzo reveals many secrets of the Renaissance that only an insider can tell. Did the de' Medicis have a secret map that they gave to Columbus? Did Amerigo Vespucci, from whose name came "America," work for the de' Medicis? Did you know that Leonardo Da Vinci was the first vegetarian in history? Do you know the de' Medicis had Jewish roots? Did you know that tiramisu was the Viagra of the Renaissance time? Why did Michelangelo really create the Pieta?

The Medici Family created wealth to give a better life to people. The Medici Family used their wealth to help individuals, their community, and the nation at large. The de' Medicis were instrumental in helping the health system of the day by investing in pharmaceutical studies. Audiences will be shown how the lessons of the de' Medicis may be applied to their communities as well as their own lives today.
