The Medici. Bankers who bought the papacy, the two crowns of France, and the Renaissance—and then died in their beds. Who killed them?
For three hundred and three years, from 1434 to 1737, a single family ruled Florence. From its ranks emerged three popes, two queens of France, and seven grand dukes of Tuscany. The Medici bank was the largest financial institution in Europe in the 15th century, and Donatello, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Galileo worked at the family's court. Yet the family, which survived two exiles, daggers in the cathedral, excommunication, the siege of Florence, and the sack of Rome, faded away in times of peace, without war or conspiracy. Contemporaries spoke of poison, the curse of usury, and the degeneration of blood. In this film, we examine which of these versions is true. This documentary narrative in ten parts follows the family's three-century history—from Giovanni di Bicci, who staked his entire fortune on a former pirate seeking the papal tiara, through Cosimo the Elder locked in the tower of the Palazzo Vecchio, Lorenzo the Magnificent, wounded during Mass during the Pazzi Conspiracy, Savonarola and the pile of vanities, two Medici popes and the sack of Rome in 1527, the murder of Prince Alexander, the first grand-ducal crown, the mysterious deaths of Francesco I and Bianca Cappello, to Catherine and Marie de' Medici on the throne of France and the last of the family, Anna Maria Louisa, who saved the Florentine heritage with a single document. Polish themes occupy a separate place: the election of Henry Valois, son of Catherine de' Medici, Jan Zborowski's famous phrase "si non iurabis, non regnabis," the coronation at Wawel Castle and the king's nocturnal escape, as well as the visit of Prince Władysław Vasa to the Medici court and the first opera performance outside Italy, staged in Warsaw in 1628.
The film also discusses the latest scientific findings. Since 2004, researchers have examined forty-nine family tombs in the Church of San Lorenzo, and DNA analysis published in 2026 provided an answer to a question that had divided historians for four hundred years: poison or disease. Controversial episodes—Pope Sixtus IV's role in the Pazzi Conspiracy, Catherine's responsibility for the Night of Saint Bartholomew, the parentage of Prince Alexander, and the death of Francis I—are presented neutrally, taking into account various historical interpretations.
The film is both educational and documentary in nature. It is based on historical sources, the work of researchers of the history of Florence, and the results of contemporary scholarly research. It is not an adaptation or translation of other material, but rather an original story prepared for Polish viewers.

...... sami tworzymy naszą RZECZYWISTOŚĆ, w każdej chwili. 🌍
Ruch Ruchów Równoległych - to będzie lawina nie do powstrzymania, która zmiecie zalęgłe tutaj od wieków plugastwo!
Im więcej takich ruchów będzie, tym bardziej niemożliwym się stanie ich rozpracowywanie i rozbijanie --- a to znaczy, że sukces zależy od każdego Polaka i Polki, Laszki i Lechity! O Laszętach nie zapominając. :-)
--- A kiedy każdy robi swoje -- widzi wszystkie inne rezultaty jako przychodzące samoczynnie!
--- Na tym polega wyższość wspólnego działania -- własny wysiłek jest niewspółmiernie mały!
. L e c h i s t a n
Wolnych Laszek, Lechitów, Lasząt i …innych.
Nie kierując się żadnym 'prawem', sprawiedliwi Ludzie będą kochać (chociaż czasami q... jak ojciec ;-)
wszystkie żyjące Istoty, podziwiając życie Boga.
Jeżeli osiągniemy prawdziwe znaczenie tego, Bóg uśmiechnie się do nas.
..... i nie chodzi tu o demona J. z Kosmosu.

tzw. Kościół Katolicki to przejęta przez naleśniki, utworzona kilkaset lat po śmierci Jezusa z Nazaretu w Palestynie, Mafia Watykańska. Już tylko ten kawałek jej historii tutaj opisany: "Bolesław Chrobry: jak martwy........", "Łokietek: przeklęty przez biskupa..." i "Medyceusze: Jak bankierzy...", udowadnia, czym dla Ludzi Europy przez następne kilkanaście wieków była: --- DIA-belskim narzędziem.
Jestem miłośniczką m.in. historii. Niedawno ukończyłam kolejną książkę o Rafaelu, który żył intensywnie, choć krótko (są dwie opinie na temat jego śmierci, jedna mówi o przeziębieniu, które mimo dobrego leczenia, zabrało mu życie, druga podaje, że zmarł "z nadmiaru cielesnych uciech".
Papież - żołnierz, czyli Juliusz II za jeden fresk w Stanzach Watykańskich płacił mu 11 tysięcy guldenów, a Leon X, już 12 tysięcy. Osobiście oglądałam te freski i najbardziej podobała mi się "Szkoła Ateńska", choć wszystkie są wykonane z niezwykłą precyzją i harmonią. On też zaprojektował część Pałacu Apostolskiego i wiele innych budowli.
