Charlie Krinsky: "The Medicis are one of the most famous princely families of Europe, the protagonists of the Italian and European history from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. In addition to having governed the fate of the city of Florence and Tuscany before then, from 1434 until 1737, and in addition to having given birth to three popes and two queens of France, they are most remembered for sponsoring several generations and artistic, cultural, spiritual and scientific achievements of their time. Their extraordinary art collections of precious objects, books and manuscripts, rare and unusual have been preserved virtually intact to the present day and are the basis of the assets of many of the most important cultural institutions in Florence."
