This biography of Lorenzo de Medici, whose wielding of power helped nurture the Italian Renaissance, includes a cast of famous figures, among them Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. It reveals how Medici's genius was devoted to the fine art of survival in a world where the dagger was wielded as deftly as the painter's brush.
