Lorenzo of Sarzana is a historical novel written by Elizabeth Lewis. The book follows the life of Lorenzo de' Medici, a prominent figure in Renaissance Italy. Born in 1449 in Florence, Lorenzo was the son of Piero de' Medici, a wealthy banker and politician. From a young age, Lorenzo showed a keen interest in the arts and literature, and he quickly became a patron of many artists and writers.As Lorenzo grew older, he became increasingly involved in politics. He was appointed as the head of the Florentine government in 1469, and he worked tirelessly to maintain the city's independence and prosperity. Lorenzo was also a strong supporter of the arts, and he commissioned many of the most famous works of the Renaissance, including Botticelli's The Birth of Venus.However, Lorenzo's political and cultural achievements were not without controversy. He was involved in several violent conflicts with rival families, and he was accused of using his power to suppress political dissent. Despite these challenges, Lorenzo remained a beloved figure in Florence, and he is remembered as one of the most important figures of the Italian Renaissance.Lorenzo of Sarzana is a detailed and engaging portrait of this fascinating historical figure. Through Lewis's vivid prose and meticulous research, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the political and cultural landscape of Renaissance Italy, as well as the complex personality of one of its most influential leaders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
