The Medici were the masters of Florence and rose to become revered through the Western world in the 14th and 15th centuries. Coming to power at a time of great social and economic equality, their banking practices made them unimaginably wealthy, with them using their vast power and resources to usher in a new era of revolutionary art and science.
