"A fascinating warts-and-all history of the rise and fall of the
Medici. Hollingsworth effectively debunks the myths surrounding
this legendary family. A vital acquisition for anyone who studies
the Renaissance and seeks the true role of the Medici in the
history of Florence."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
"Highly readable. A revisionist view of the celebrated Medici
family."-- "Library Journal"
"Hollingsworth's clear, concise family chronology serves as an
excellent introduction or handy reference guide to one of the
Renaissance's most infamous families."-- "Publishers Weekly
(starred)"
"Vivid and well-researched. Hollingsworth's implication is correct
and praiseworthy--that we should remember the Medici for what they
were, not for what they wanted us to think they were."-- "Christian
Science Monitor"
