The definitive review. As a warm up try reading The rise & fall of Medici to get acquainted with the main characters

This is a history of Renaissance Italy. Please note Italy. This is one of my issues. It would have been better to split the book and provide wider context. That said it is marvellously full of information although this can lead to a bit overload especially the Italian Wars. Similarly many many works of art, sculpture and architecture are discussed. This can be a bit tricky and I found myself hitting the pause button to search for them online. I recommend that you do this otherwise the art history parts are a little meaningless. Overall highly educational but needs concentration and focus

Only Italy

Great audiobook, both in terms of content and in terms of performance. Would recommend to anyone interested in the period. An excellent overview.

Highly recommended
