And I'm going to get a bit intense, so I apologize in advance.
But for me, it's a story that is so important because probably not told enough.
And let's find out who are our main characters here, especially with Isabella de' Medici.
I really love Isabella de' Medici because she's a patron of the arts, really well-educated.
And you know, when we say well-educated for women, of course, babe.
At the same time, actually, at the time, it's quite rare.
You know, it's not as common as you think.
And also, I think this, I don't want to make a bit of a competition, but you have different level of good education, especially at that time.
And here, Isabella de' Medici is the daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
cousin, second cousin of my favorite or one of Catherine de' Medici.
Yeah.
Arguably, I would say she is with Mary de' Medici maybe because that's, and we're going to talk about what de' Medici managed to achieve because it's quite incredible.
But Catherine de' Medici is definitely, yeah, one of my favorite queens ever.
And despite the fact that there's lots of dark legend around her and, you know, supposed to just kill people when she hasn't and things like that.
And I think what's very interesting about the Medici family is that here we're going to travel back a bit in time because you set up in 1576 what we're going to talk about.
But to understand, and I think it's very, very important here, the Medici is a family of bankers.
in Florence and they were, you know, I hate to say this, you know, saying that ambition is not good, but extremely ambitious, but you have to understand at that time, everyone is ambitious.
The one who loses are just not going to say they're ambitious because they lost.
I'm sorry to be, and how you get power, you gain power with money.
and murders.
