Life in the Renaissance

Here, award-winning historian Charles L. Mee Jr. explores life in Renaissance Italy - from the ascendancy of Florence and the Medicis to the genius of Leonardo da Vinci. Through wars and violence to festivals and sumptuous feasts, Mee examines the people - merchants, clergy, artists, scholars, courtiers, women - who fashioned the cradle for the rebirth of the Western world.
