About this experience
The history of the Medici family is very intriguing. And incredibly bloody. Take a loud Florentine murder, look up the Medici name in the dossier - and you're sure to find it. I will tell you why members of the family did not live peacefully, how they died, and how those who survived sought revenge. At the same time, we will remember the murders that the Medicis were not involved in - and evaluate the length of this list.

You will learn:
- How Giuliano Medici was killed and where it happened
- How his brother Lorenzo the Magnificent survived and how he avenged the killers
- How Duke Alessandro Medici was killed and why this event is called the "Bloody Epiphany"

- What villainies Bianca Capello committed
