"The student of history knows no more refreshing recreation than that of nailing liars, like vermin, to the wall."
This book was an absolute delight. It shouldn't be read as a sincere history, but as a romp through Renaissance Italy. All of the wicked rumors surrounding this noble family must be denounced, of course, but first, let's wallow in the stories. A treasure from a peculiarly gifted mind.
