Usually after these words you imagine a sublime world inhabited by geniuses and great artists of the past. It was the time of discoveries and a flourishing culture.
Surely, Italy have looked like that… rich and attractive. Attractive for wolves, encircling their defenseless prey. The Italian peninsula was a sweet slice of the pie for the most powerful states of Europe: France, Spain, The Holy Roman Empire. Italy couldn’t confront them, because there was no united Italy at all, just a bunch of different bigger and smaller states, always feuding with each other. So the whole Catholic world was waiting for just a spark, which would turn into a big fire of war.
And that's where our story starts, the story about
wars, intrigues, corruption, faith and most of all: about ambitions, which can turn hearts into stones.
