desertcart.com: April Blood: Florence and the Plot against the Medici: 9780195176094: Martines, Lauro: Books

Review: A review of April Blood: Florence and the Plot against the Medici - Lauro Martines takes the reader inside the politics of renaissance Florence and sheds light on a conspiracy that would involve all five city-states of Italy, two families related by marriage, and the involvement of the papacy of itself in a plot to remove the Medici from power. While some may feel the author takes too much time to reach the main story, it is necessary for the reader to have the information Martines provides prior to chapter seven so that most of the players in this intrigue are known. All together a good read for those with a healthy curiosity of historical Florence.
Review: Interesting book - This book provides a different interpretation of the April plot to assassinate Lorenzo de Medici and his brother Guiliano. It focuses solely on the political lives and maneuvering of the Medici family and therefore the picture presented is not the usual paean to the family and especially Lorenzo. It portrays Lorenzo, and to a lesser extent Cosimo and Piero, as a tyrant who consistently chips away at the underpinnings of the Republic of Florence. It also portrays the conspirators in the April plot more sympathetically than normally seen. I enjoyed the book which made me reexamine my own views of the Medici. I would definitely recommend the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The 1478 Plot against the Medici
*by V***A on August 13, 2013*

This book came highly recommended by several tour guides on our recent trip to Florence. They also had it for sale at several museums but I knew it would be easier to get at home. Its a great read and shows what life in Italy in the 1400s was like. All the dark intrigue, violence and some art thrown in. It gives a vivid picture of the times, culture and country.
