After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal · Murder In The Medici Court · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

And there's a lot of black legend around the Medici.

Most of it is kind of true, but I think we can also say that lots of it is also amplified.

Because when you're a winner that should not have won because you're a banker, you're from the low classes and you managed to grow, you're not really liked by all the nobles' families.

So I think that of all the kind of reputation they have, I'm not saying that's not true.

Absolutely not.

I think that's not true.

If you look at the evidence and the archives, you can say, that's kind of true.

It's there.

But at the same time, I do believe that it's massively amplified.

And I think that bit is very interesting.

For our case, I just want to explain to you that Cosimo de' Medici is very influential, very powerful.

But the problem is, you're never truly powerful until you make the right alliances.

What I'm trying to say is that you can't sit...

own past achievements or what your family has managed to get for you.

You have to consolidate what you have.

or better to make sure that it grows.

And I think that for Cosimo, I really like Cosimo, and I'm going to tell you why.

I mean, I'm going to tell you why.

It's not that I really like him.

You might as well tell us why.
