Lorenzo the Magnificent has to try and stop the war with the Pope. To do it he will have to go alone to Naples to negotiate with King Ferrante - the most terrifying ruler in Europe. He would rather surround himself with Art and artists, but unexpected troubles are coming from the North too - the zealous monk Savonarola is determined to purge Florence of sin, which means the rich and all their baubles of beauty.. And the bank is in decline. Can he save anything for his dim witted successors? Will they even care?
