- From a small Italian community in 15th century Florence, the Medici family would rise to rule Europe in many ways. Using charm, patronage, skill, duplicity and ruthlessness, they would amass unparalleled wealth and unprecedented power. They would also ignite the most important cultural and artisitc revolution in Western history- the European Renaissance. But the forces of change the Medici helped unleash would one day topple their ordered world.

Thumbs up if you watched all 4 parts of this documentary.
❤I did!❤
But, of course!
It was worth the watching.
A generalized telling,
Of a great history!!
🇮🇪🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃✨
Wow, religion, politics, science, art and business ...the Medici foot print is massive.
Brilliant documentary.
Medici 'ne ;)
My deep appreciation, for this magnificent series of a time of greatness and all the glorious participants.
Watched all four episodes and they were great! Thank you for hosting these videos Tsenka!
Just got back from 2 weeks in Florence. Incredible. So much incredible work in the 15th & 16th centuries. Can't help but wonder what happened since. It feels like we've stagnated artistically.
Brian D Parker ; I feel like most people are becoming less and less interested in such pursuits, these days its all Facebook and tide pod eating
ok boomers
Yeah, I thought that. But there has been some quite decent art since the 16th Century. Van Gogh, Cezanne, Munch are just a few names off the top of my head whose work I’ve had the pleasure of viewing in recent years…

Galileo was a great truth seeker and scientist.
Great series, I've learned more on here than I did in all of high school. True story.. The truth cannot be contained
+Colleen Wasner The system in which you live, like the system in which Galileo lived, has an interest in keeping you ignorant.
A superb series presented in a modern way with politics, passions, crimes and 'goings-on' that we can recognize today
Probably the best documentary I have ever seen.
Very good séries,very enlightening Shame children are not taught history liké this.Much better and more action and interesting than anywher vidéo game! More séries liké this PLEASe,Thank you to all thé team.Kindest regards to all❤
I want, I need, more documentaries like this.
What a superb history narrated so well .Thank you .
"I do not believe that the same God with endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect, has intended us to forgo their use"
Galileo Galili
Wonderful series, but it omits so much. Parts 1 and 2 show no wars whatever, while Part 3 doesn't go into the events leading up to the Sack of Rome. The relationship of the Medici to the Renaissance is very nicely portrayed. So much of what the Medici sponsored lies at the heart of Western civilisation and cannot be erased.
all my dots conneced thanks to this series, all those characters i havent known how they fit into the big picture
I watched all four episodes and they were amazing! Thank you very much for sharing.
Incredible exposure of the history and art which remains until today, bravo!
Who got this during quarantine as their homework?
me
We watched this in a college art class I took in 2005 after this documentary was just released in 2004. It is now 2023 and I am still watching and fascinated by it! One of my favorite documentary series of all time.
Great series. Enjoyed all 4 episodes. It stimulated me to pick up my art history studies again.
A sad ending though. We, Italians, don't like it but the Roman inquisition causing the fall of Galilei was as bad as the Spanish inquisition.
thx for posting these. I had watched them years ago and re-watching now. It is important to know and understand history.
Thank you so much for publishing this. Very intriguing. I had no idea of any of this wonderful history. Never taught most of this in school. Again thank you!
Outstanding, Fantastic I could good on an on. This marvelously done documentary has given me a piece of art history not to be found anywhere. Thanks.
Thank you so much! It was a joy to watch the Series.
This was a fantastic special. Very intriguing. Thanks for the upload!
Jeezzz.. I didn't realise how much power the Catholic church had over all aspects of science and art and the suffering of the people... May God forgive them for I cannot!
For all of you anticlerical people, if it had not been for religion we would have not had the Sistine chapel, the pietá, the David, the last supper of Leonardo, the Raphael's Vatican rooms and the dome of Brunelleschi. They were the major patrons of arts in that period and as much as their bigotry can be despised they still played a major contribution for the Renaissance.
Amen.
Very informative. I'm beginning to like european history. Thanks a lot for this superb video.
I adore that family
Excellent documentary 👏
Thank you very very very much for uploading this. :')
Superb series! Kudos...and thanks very much.
Thank you for posting it, quite interesting!
Best documentary ive seen thank you
Outstanding documentary!
Such an interesting documentary, thank you.
This has the built-in story-line for the biggest and best TV soap opera ever made - as long as it's not done by the Americans. You can just see it, can't you - Florence 90210 !!!
outstanding series.
Very insightful documentary.
This was an excellent series! relly enjoyed it :-)
this was a great documentary series
Tysm for publishing my family's story!
All this magnificence and beauty of bygone ages..... What we have now is utility, space ruination, ugly glass buildings and technology.
Florence is the birthplace of modernity.
Modernity and civilization was flourishing in Africa millenniums before the Europeans began to create the western civilization. They never had evil systems like the Catholic Church to hamper advancement in knowledge. All people came from Africa and spread across the world.
... Modernity in architecture and art perhaps. But more covertly, the genesis of great debauchery, deceit; of the pursuit of power and influence for it's own sake. It was inevitable and even expected to be the case.
The church funded science you are the ignorant one.
@@bulldogsbob *cough* Giordano Bruno at 40:37 *cough*
@@epicjamaicanjokes8279you calling good evil is the joke of the century lol
The dislikes are the kids who had to watch this in school
Really interesting. No matter how long takes the truth emerge
Great series!!
Prof. Mario Biagioli reminds me of Robert Langdon.
Great documentary! Loved it! Hope it's accurate though :))
if the video made you think about the topic then the goal was reached right, all scholars like to debate which always results in a positive way (It's all fun and games til a scholar loses an eye)
Lots of book burning during that time. What a sad thing.
The Medici - God-fathers of some of the greatest artistic works of all time...Amazing !
And then , came ... Pollock😂
The statue shown at 22:15 as his "final sculpture" was not his final sculpture. Also, to simply call either his final sculpture (or even the one they've erroneously identified as his final sculpture) "La Pietà" (a word that describes an image of Mary mourning over A crucified Christ) is not technically accurate, and at the very least extremely imprecise, as he did several pietàs, including one actually called "La Pietà" completed in 1499. The statue shown here is called "The Deposition" and was completed in 1553. His actual last sculpture, not shown here, which he also destructively hacked at, was called "The Rondanini Pietà" and wasn't completed until his death in 1564.
Right you are! Thanks for the correction.
Thank you for the clarity. Love this stuff!
Are not all Pietäs about Rachel?
what is this a 1st amendment audit of Tsenka? LOL kidding of course the documentary was well made and the points you made were relatively out of place for the purpose of the video. Why were you not contacted as a Subject Matter expert of the material?
Fantastic!!
@Tsenka Stoycheva that was an incredibly insightful view of the Medici family and their influence and topple their control (in my humble opinion their influence continues to this day also nothing compared to the Renaissance.
great series
Medici always pay their debts.
Where have I heard that before?......
I watched all 4 parts they are all exceptional
Thanks
A marvelous series, although at some points a little simplistic. (e. g., Copernicus's part in the development of the heliocentric theory is omitted.) Too bad the important 3rd part is blocked.
+Juan Vélez
part 3 is here : /watch?v=BmNbecu1V6I&list=PL21A9B25366B67ADB&index=3
and I agree this is a wonderful documentary.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Some things just never change about the world. War, corruption and greed always predominate
I watched a 4 parts. As a Lutheran, I pleased to see Martin Luther mentioned...Further, the sultan of Turkey invited to Jewish victims of the Spanish inquistion to come to the Ottomane empire.
I don’t think the Medici or the grand duchy of Tuscany ever stretched from coast to coast. Actually, I am sure!
Ironically, the whole question of whether the Sun revolves around the Earth, or vice versa, turns out to be irrelevant due Einstein's theory of relativity. There is no absolute motion, only one object moving relative to another. One could pick either as stationary and view the other as moving around it. Of course, since the Sun is massive, choosing it as the rest frame means that the motion of the other planets in that reference frame are more regular (ellipses) than putting Earth as the rest frame.
But the bottom line is, the whole idea of which object revolves around the other is physically immaterial.
+Pedram Hekmati The whole idea is material in the sense that we wouldn't know anything about n-body physics or gravity or spheres of influence, if Galileo (and others) hadn't fought for the right to speak about evidence truthfully.
Does anyone know the piece that starts at 15:42?
Finally done with the AP Euro packet, thank you. If someone from my class sees this and knows who I am, say "silly squirrel" to me.
Great series! Thanks.
michelle stein-evers frankl Thank you! Excellent!!
First man (in European history at least) who discovered that the Earth orbits the Sun was Copernicus not Galileo. Copernicus published his "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" in 1543. The info in this film is totally misleading.
+VersusMike You've misidentified the issue. Copernicus (based on the work of Kepler and Bruno) was first in publishing the science. Galileo was the first to popularize it. Before him, the masses had no knowledge of the basic structure of the solar system. The Church was unconcerned with the almost unknown scribbles of a few stargazers - it became quite concerned with someone who transmitted this information to the masses in toto.
+LTrotsky 21st You're not being precise: do you mean that Copernicus' work was based on Brunos' and Kepler's (which obviously couldn't be true because of the fact they were born after Copernicus death) or did you mean that Bruno and Kepler wrote about Copernicus' accomplishments in their works? Either way I would say that discovering and publishing science theory for the first time is quite equivalent. Besides all this, authors of the film should mention Copernicus but they did not. And that's what I described as misleading.
I am inclined to agree, which is why they didn't sentence Galileo to death; merely house arrest in his luxury villa. It might be akin to the powers-that-be knowing aliens are walking among us, but deciding that info might be a little too much for the unwashed masses to handle, right now. We are, after all, talking about rarely literate, serfs & peasants. The intellectuals & intelligentsia were IN the Church.
Aristarchus
The first to make the observation that planets (a.o. Earth) orbit the sun was Aristarchus of Samos (310-230 BC!!!). He could not prove it, neither could Oresmus nor Copernicus nor Galilei nor Kepler nor several Arabic astronomers. They all used the heliocentric hypothesis. The general acceptance of this view dates from Newton's age, when it was actually proven I do not know. Almost as an afterthought: Great series though!!
The 3rd part is about the medici popes, so that´s why is not here.
Good series, thanks for uploads. But it seems positively allergic to any mention of Venice. Florence declined as Venice rose, an even more ruthless, mercantile, and politically savvy republic. Venice took over papal monopolies in alum and silk, then grabbed the papacy itself. Venice had a navy before Cosimo I. Venice co-opted the European banking, sugar, glass, and luxury goods trades. Galileo began his scientific career in Venice, not Florence.
There is a deliberate blind spot here, and its name is Venice. The Doges and merchants of Venice learned from the Medici and eventually supplanted them. Mostly by being more ruthless, greedy, and amoral than their Florentine forerunners.
Robert McGovern Emm... not really. Florence was not a maritime power as Venice was. The golden age of Venice was in the 13th-14th century when Byzantium declined and Venice monopolized East Mediterranean Trade. This period was also the height of Florentine power, as a banking and mercantile republic.
By the time mentioned in this episode (mid-1500s), both Florence and Venice had declined. Venice declined for many reasons, chiefly, (1) the Ottoman Empire now blocked East Mediterranean and demanded high taxation from sea merchants. Indian Ocean Trade became less profitable. (2) The discovery of new routes (Iberia-South Africa-India) and the New World made East Mediterranean Trade less useful. If spice were to be picked up, the Spanish and Portuguese picked them up through Atlantic Trade. (3) Venice was neck-deep in struggle with Ottoman Empire.
There was a Renaissance historian who summed up Venetian history of this period very poetically. He said in its heyday, Venice was but a country of sailors, occupying only the Laguna. Now, the sailors had turned to land conquest.
Borghese's, Aldobrandini's ;Appreciate the series.
To quote Rob, "More human than human."
No thing is
Nice documentary :D
Thanks,,even doe,,they start to go into michaela angalo,,and only give you a small portion of his life,,to be real he with out the help of the medici would not have reached the hights of glory so fast, they were his patterns,,and paid for everything so he could put all his life into what he loved,,,art,,paniting,,,,and sluctures,,any ways i do always say if you want to know it all there are 3,,books,,out,,covering everthing,,,about gods bankers ,,the medici family ,,from 1435,,,to,,,1989,,,when gods banker was found hanging from a brigde that crosses the river tiber in rome,,,any way happy you enjoyed,,,D ,,,
so sad that in the beginning they were a good family that worked with the common people, most rich families never cared about the common people, but then they got involved with the church and went on to become a corrupt evil family. how in the world did the church become so evil and destructive.
The Medici did not rule all of Tuscany…Lucca remained independent until Napoleon arrived.
Medici= "Giatraki" of Mani, Peloponnese, GREECE!
The Catholic Church may have broken Galileo, but it couldn't break his ideas nor the Renaissance. The Church lost the battle and we can still watch it slowly fading away, drowning in its own stupidity and crimes....
Hail Mary, full of Grace, the LORD is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, JESUS.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Galileo was close friends to the pope. That helped a bit, methinks 🌝
I mean…over a billion strong…still the largest group of Christians on the planet…fading? Okay.
Very slow paced, too much repetition of the same clips and a few errors of fact. Bruno was not burnt for saying the Universe was infinite, he was burnt for witchcraft. Galileo did not drop anything off the tower at Pisa. Good stuff in it but you wonder what else is factually wrong.
Actually, there is no conclusion or agreement on why Bruno was burned. New evidence shows his cosmology beliefs particularly the ones related to exoplanets could be what ended him.
I'm telling my kids this was The Godfather
the early medici were fancy cossimo was a fucking badass
I love how when Empires looks at the Roman church, they try to paint it in the most negative light possible, but when they look at other religions like Islam they only focus on things that are positive or they twist things that are outright abominations into things they think shouldn't really be criticized. I am not a Roman Catholic, but it seems like every episode they touch on the Roman Church they have nothing good to say about it.
What happened to the connection between the Medici and Machiavelli. After all he wrote his book the Prince as a resume to be considered for office in the Medici court
Only after starting a war with the family,,thats why the medici popes never for gave him,,,
How they (the people) believed in a institute who tortured, burn people alive and waged war is beyond me😔
Much of the population was illiterate and just trying to survive.
Not to mention, they didn't want to burn to death.
I know I'm 5 years late, but oh well lol
Fear is a powerful tool.
Shoutout to Dr. Morgen students doing some last minute homework.
lol... a yeah later aint much changed
shout out to Mr.Katz's students doing this for an essay
Does anyone know the music in any of these four videos?? I am struggling to figure it out and I really like it
Shoutout to Mr. Power
hey Tsenka,
can you re edit part 3 , and just take out the BBC clip, and voice in the info ??
they blocked part 3 , and now, its not a complete series !
i love history, and find, that ' sharing ', history should be OK, but i guess BBC does not agree with me ... maybe , its cause they are British, and think, they own History ??
merci
dixie b "maybe , its cause they are British, and think, they own History" Never lose an opportunity to get a racist or xenophobic gibe in, eh?
+Tom Nutts The British think they own everything. The BBC is a government channel hated the world over. Accept it.
***** The British don't think they own everything. Please explain your comment. Most other nations don't have anything worth owning. If you hate the BBC don't watch their programmes- watch whatever crap your own state broadcaster produces.
+dixie b Find part 3 on cringechannel93.
NOOOOOO GALILEO MY POOR CHILD
Good series, but it would be better if they didn’t twisted some things or took some anecdotal pieces as major facts just to make the plot more engaging. History is amazing enough for itself.
who is this guy who interprets galileos voice? Jesus christ what a fucking god of voices
just look around from the top of the hills of Florence and try to imagine how a hell can the earth revolve around the sun -not possible just like your senses tells you
does anyone know the song at 23:41
If you have learned, please let me know
Thank you
Listened to all 4 parts, no reference to renaissance magic!
Because magic doesn't exist
The doco is about art😁
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. Only science is a reliable reference
Most historians in this field believe the story written by Galileo's pupil about dropping objects from the leaning tower to be apocryphal.
Brian Peck He didn’t actually drop anything from the Tower. It was a thought experiment.
..the catholic church makes me proud to be a protestant...
superb thanks
Maybe the reason Copernicus was not mentioned was because he was not Italian and maybe had no relation with the Medici.
Copernicus-1474,Galileo-1564.They can,t be connected.One more thing-Copernicus just revealed to the world one of oldest theorys.Aristarchus from Samos,who said first,that sun is the center of universe.Gallileos theory was complete diferent,he discovered 'Milky way'
i want the soundtrack
Sci Rev begins @ 30:00
Someone commented that the Medici family had two members that became popes but I have an understanding that there were actually four. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong
no, just two I think.
No three. Leo X, Clement VII, and Leo XI who was only pope for a month.
Should have mentioned the Borgias who were much nicer people.
The Borgias were totally corrupt!! And we're not patrons of Renaissance Art, or anything really!!Plus they are Spanish!!👹
A little simplified and inaccurate but anything to keep this history alive is important, it's only a small step from UA-cam scholar to avid book worm
As much as I hate the last 2 Medicis, they are the ones who make the city beautiful, and change the history.
So, are they good or bad? Confused.
both.as above so below
