- 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.
I knew the Medici were such an influential family of the upbringing of the Renaissance, but I never knew they were really that important and influential. Truly one can't discuss the topic of the Renaissance without at least mentioning the Medici. Thank you for this series.

First fully recorded set of gangster families in human history.
Ancient Rome and Greece has some, but the records are scant. They're an example of watch out for oligarchy and theocracy.
One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Very well done.
The boy died shortly after due to the gold poison. His death went unnoticed. The papal celebration went on for days.
Am I the only person who found this sad?
Yang Wen be assured, you and I were most likely not the only ones struck by the death of an overlooked boy
*IS IT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FEELINGS ??*
Wahyu Indrasto, our collective feelings are pity for a disposable boy who died after serving as decoration, what about that do you find to be so unacceptable? Should we have ignored his tragic end instead? Like the hedonistic Leo X did?
Me too, have no idea you can die for this. No wonder Lorenzo didn't last long, since his doctor gave him essentially gold for meals
@@wahyuindrasto8307 Nah I was just pointing it out. I wish I was as cool as you who don't feel anything, so quirky, so special XD
Machiavelli may not have been given an office by the Medici, but he did get commissions for books by them. This is how we get the Discourses, Art of War (his own version), and Florentine Histories.
"He's brave. Maybe I'll hire him"
................
all throughout our catholic lives we pay the church for: baptism, anointing of the sick, confirmation, marriage, funeral and every day we attend mass (take note we give during the offertory which is the first collection and right before the mass ends there is a second collection to finance whatever projects they have). i don't see it as a religion, i see it as a business.
that is for the church to maintain itself and for other people
Well in the government, churches catholic or protestant, or any religions is categorized as business, which is completely okay. They need money to support themselves. Pastors and monks need to eat too. But they also build catholic schools, and that's how they make money, and they donate to the poor too.
Rachel Garces thanks for reminding me why I walked away from that.
"And Jesus said
The kingdom of god is inside you and all around you
Not in buildings of wood and stone

Wait catholics get confirmed too?
no we pay for sucess
ahhh. The Dracula voice throughout. It's perfect.
🤣 that cracked me up!
Sorry,,philip,i just cant hear a Dracula voice from the guy talking us as viewers trough this,,i just hear ,,a good voice chosing ,,to take us trough,,and its a guy from italy talking,,any ways,,not a very good joke,or if a real coment,,mate,,chow
It's better to be loved in the beginning and fears in the end
Johnathan Houston Machiavelli gave this advice in the book ‘il principe’ dedicated to Lorenzo De Medici
I forgive the Medici! Afterall they patronized the artists of the Renaissance. They were instrumental in helping to create works of art, that are with us today to marvel over!! Really human life is of little importance in comparison, they are not mentioned in history.
Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Machiavelli - That's an all star team right there! What a time it would have been to be alive back then
I was so surprised to hear all those names mentioned in the documentary...it's just so fascinating.
Well unless you were born in Florence, the average person likely didn't know who those people were.
Murder, rape, incest, syfilis, plague, etc.. Yea, it would have been a real blast!
I'm in florence now and re watching as I prepare to head out into the city.

The Godfathers of the Renaissance. Century of lights and prosperity in Europe
Rip for the boy who died of gold poison during Leo X's celebration
These Medici had just really great sense how to make business on everything!:D
Love that one of the speakers said that the coming of Protestantism was one of the most important things to come from the Renaissance. Vitally important.
the sad thing is it was almost solely because of Leo X's actions that the reformation began
@@somerandomguyfromthebeyond1821 Why was it sad - the Church and its Literalist Churchianity was a corruption of the original Gnostic Christianity [which taught the true Spirituality of direct access to Divinity within us] copied from older Mystery Religions. The Early Protestant 'enthusiasts' were those who sought to re-establish this Direct Access to the Divinity within us - thus Protestantism was certainly an advance on the corruption fakery of the Papacy. BTW - the Papa was originally the Head of the Roman Temple of Mithras [aka Sol Invictus] at the Vatican. Mithras was born of a Virgin Birth [a myth which long predates Christianity and refers to enlightenment] on December 25th. The Christians only adopted the Crucifix symbol in the 4th Century after Nicaea. Earlier Roman vases showing the crucified godman name the godman as Orpheus-Bacchus! Dionysus meant Son of God in Phrygian!
Visually excellent, intellectually this is a shabby hatchet job against the Medici and especially against Giovanni (Leo X). The quote about enjoying the papacy was written by a Venetian enemy. Both David Hume and Martin Luther praised Leo for his personal qualities. He was known especially for his wish for and work toward peace, both within the church and in Christian Europe. Hume said of him, “one of the most illustrious princes that ever sat on the papal throne. Humane, beneficent, generous, affable, the patron of every art, and friend of every virtue.” He knew the quality of the art he patronized. Like his father, Lorenzo, he was a poet. He could extemporaneously compose verse in Latin and Italian. He was a renaissance man. This sorry program panders to the misconception that these renaissance princes were just illiterate Don Corleone, Tony Soprano American gangsters. The reality is that they were complex men in a world of rapid change. Leo’s great flaws were to over spend and to misread the reformation. His great grandfather, Cosimo, a master of both politics and accounting, said, “I know the Florentines. In fifty years they will throw us out, but my buildings will endure.” The art patronized by Leo and his forbears endures.
I will quote Martin Luther to you based on my vague recollection:
'The pope is riche than Croesus...he should donate some of the money to the poor'
"The pope should stand up like the sinner he is, and (something about explaining what he is doing'
And many more....
I would also like you to explain away the little boy, pawning off of church funds for their own personal gains, having affairs with women despite vowing celibacy, selling off visitation rights to the saints etc.
Yeah, if the billionaires of today had 5% of the civic pride that the Medici had, things would be better surely.
I understood that Martin Luther was furious with Pope Leo X over gluttony & selling of indulgence’s, which he didn’t create, but resurrected the practice after bankrupting “the church”.
There's nothing like 'the present' (joke hyperbolye & alliteration)....
This series is very interesting especially from an artistic point of view. Its political and military grasp is too simplistic . In the beginning of the sixteenth century the Italian states are arranging themselves into alliances against one another. One side in order to trump the other invites the French king to intervene. France is not rich but militarily a great power by comparison with the small very rich Italian states. The French king has imperial ambitions of his own in Italy. This prompts the Holy Roman Empire centred in Germany and with Spain as an attachment to intervene in the peninsular in order to safeguard its local interests.
It is the army of the Catholic Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. that sacks Rome. It does so because Charles is unable to pay its wages.
The intervene of. the French & Germans shifts power from Italy to Northern Europe as the Italian peninsular is dwarfed by the military might of Germany and France and pillaged by both.
yea
Watching this particular episode has led me to the conclusion..... thank god for the reformation!
Colum Rogers why? After the counter reformation, the protestants were just as bigoted, bloody and barbaric as the Catholics
And the horrors they inflicted to the rest of the world in the name of JESUS!!!!!!!
I'll thank god for that when you thank trump for what he's doing. Ha
alus nova Lol. I'm a Trump supporter?? Why would a socialist/atheist support Trump? what a mong...
alus nova Are you a Catholic lover? Do you support protecting paedophile priests?
that was not cool the kid with the gold, his death went unnotice
The debauchery and deceit of those reaching the top hardly knew any bounds. The accent was always on the show of power and being able to realize their most disgusting passions. Sick and profoundly sad.
They didn't know their paints were toxic yet im pretty sure.
I am pretty sure it was covered up because of what it could potentially mean symbolically. This show always talks about how religious, and even superstitious, the people of this time were. If they found out that their "symbol" of wealth and the birth of a new age died a little later directly because of the very product that made it look rich (the gold paint), that would look pretty bad for the new Pope. I bet they were thinking politically in so many ways.
Suggesting the Medici were responsible for commissioning the Sistine Chapel was odd. It was Julius.
Machiavelli's 'The Prince' can be compared to Sun Tzu's 'The Art Of War'.
Both books could be sub-titled "Any Means Necessary"
"If the Pope damned you you would have no access to heaven, and if you're Christian I think you care a lot about that."
Yeah...can't argue with that guy
Machiavelli didn't call his book the Prince, he in fact didn't even name it.
I was close to getting my computer taken away if my parents saw this. My parents are strict on nudity.
hard to avoid nudity in art!
Yep... the Enlightenment has saved us from total damnation towards back to the dark ages.
Nope it gave us liberals like savorola!
Haha, in previous bbc programme about Machiavelli was said, that his book didn't have any title (I guess The Prince title is much later publishers idea). It was published 5 years after Machiavelli's death, and according to the author, it was more like a useful political treatise written as a book.
I guess a vow of poverty means something completely different to some people than to others.
If you are weak, it is better to be feared.
If you are brave; they inevitably love you and fear is not a necessary tool for employment.
Machiavelli had forgotten about the Greek Mythology., that Gods are amoral.
pro found .
the more closely one looks at history, the more you see the mockery it makes of everything. for all the good, virtuous, and worthy accomplishments of mankind comes corruption and destruction that dwarfs all else.
The Road to Hell is often paved with Good Intentions and vice versa. The corruption and self-aggrandizement of the Medici brought the Reformation and Renaissance which advanced human progress - just as the numerous Crimes Against Humanity of the European colonialists around the world and even the 1939-45 War brought about major advances in Science, Technology, Medicine etc. from which the majority of the human population benefit today - although of course the growing inequality within societies [with all the new wealth going to the super-rich whilst the majority get poorer] associated with NeoLiberalism can be traced back to the Greed inherent in the Capitalist Ethos that came to prominence in Europe with the Medici.
Pity it's only in 360, unwatchable on a 50" TV. Time someone upscaled this.
Even the great Michelangelo was capable of making mistakes. In the Sistine Chapel, Adam is depicted with a navel. Given that Adam was 'created' by god, he wouldn't have HAD a navel because there would have been no umbilical chord.
Raphael was said to have feinted when he first saw that great ceiling. I nearly passed out myself - because it is so warm in that room!
'Fainted' with 'feint' being a move in swordplay
He also made another mistake, he didn't circumcise David.
What do We think of the historical accuracy M.
Where did Catherine de Medici come from? Who were her parents?
Her father was Lorenzo II, grandson of Lorenzo , nephew of Pope Leo X.

the power of the family
Now I finally know who Kanye was referring to during his interview on Sway...Kanye is a genius with a vision. "Who's gonna be the Medici family to let me create more, or do you want to marginalize me til I'm out of my moment!"
In Kanye’s case you could say the Medicis funny enough might have been his marriage into the Kardashian family which give him a muse in the girls in the family for his fashion and joining the force of two stars Kim and Kanye which raised both of their statuses too a new level.
Does anyone have the soundtrack info for this documentary series?
I am asking the same question because I really like the music
awesome ❤
Does anyone know the music in these videos?? I am struggling to find anything, but I really like the music
Funny how "The Prince" does not mention spending lots of money on art, culture and such, though this has political and military value by making enemies less likely to attack. It seems to have made the populace more likely to revolt, if such culture transgresses religious values. Wish Machiavelli had thought to do a chapter on it. Anyway with this Medici pope period, they seem to have come a long way from the time of Cosimo, when upon his exile he simply gathered money and waited for a recall. These two Medici cousins came back with an army sacking townships, and spent rather than created wealth.
The Prince was essentially his CV so in my opinion I think he saw no need to remind them of what they were already doing
What's the music of a female right at the start? It's do beautiful. I wish to listen to it. Cam anyone tell?
Leo was the perfect pope to be responsible for the reformation
Thank you Martin Luther
everyone in the comments is talking passionately about this like its a kdrama yet im over here crying bc i wasn't in school for three days and now I have to rewatch three hours of documentaries and take notes bc I have a test this Friday
You got this!
Grow the fuck up. This is more beneficial to you than any drama. And even then, you should do your own reaearch.
why do you even go to school
Did you have a point?
😂😅😂
Has anyone watched "Reign"? Wow I did not realize the TV show based on real historic events lol well at least a small part of it
Thats really strange that you didn't not realize that, even if you aren't fun of history romance books or movies, at least These events are in school history programs. Even my country is far from u.k. this topic was in my world history program p.s. Though Reign was shittiest historic TV show I heve ever seen.
Há Cảo try watching "I medici" series
Thank you history teacher
ExcellencE again and may I say...thank You.
🇮🇪⭐✨🥳🤩🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃⭐
When i see BBC or PBS
I know....i will be listening/watching a quality product!!
...
narrators voice !! is that what a italian sounds like ?? i love history but it is like listening to FRAN FINE THE NANNY :-)
I'm more annoyed by the texts being read in Italian accent. It's like they are mocking the Italians.
OLAV WILHELM I thought it was just me - and the ridiculously exaggerated accents are also doing my head in.
OLAV WILHELM ok, why??? She's not Italian.
Why do people say 'racist'? Being Italian is a nationality
Race and ethnicity are used interchangeably. Italians are a distinct genetic group from other Europeans, hence can be considered a race. Just like Africans are genetically different from Europeans; but so are West Africans genetically different from East Africans, and so on, as long as you want to make a distinction. For a polymath, you could do with great learning in the area of genetics. Good luck.
i fuc*ing love catholic history !!!!!!
Elie Haddad What is your ethnicity?
i'm not a Catholic, but you can't deny the incredible role the Church played in European history for hundreds of years. it's incredibly interesting stuff
Brendan Nicholas yeah back then everyone lived for religion
me too. a history of fanatical idiots
You can make a documentary, but you can't make everybody understand its message. Low IQ intervention by aundria marshall. :/
Willing to bet that most of the people who hate the narrators voice...speak one language.
❤
next time you film "experts" on the medicis please take some that are able to say the name
Does anyone know the name of the music at 4:25?
I don`t, sorry
wow how did this video randomly re-appear?
How can people over look a Child's Death and carry on like this . Is beyond words to me . Wanting power over others to me This is Evil ways on earth !!
as you go back in history human life valued less and less
Wanting power is natural. Some are better made for wielding it than others. Since hunter-gatherer society, there have been leaders and there always will be. And the ones that are willing to go further for it, are likely to end up in power.
Actually, the Sistine Chapel was finished during the papacy of Julius II (1511). Leo X papacy begun in 1513.
Wasn't "The Prince", Maquiavelo's book dedicated to Cesar Borgia?
He was the model for The Prince.
murasakiendo No the book was dedicated to Larenzo de Medici but machiavelli used Cesera Borgia as the prime example of what a prince should be.
Yes.that is nice too hear. Juan? Jaun! Where the heck are you !? You need to see this. Mikeletto? Get jaun
@@jasonmazzulla5893Lol
hedge????
Thank you.
So indulgences got so ridiculous under Leo, Luther couldn't accept it?
Blood runs deep??? Childhoods.. Geesh *le sigh*
These people don’t know what indulgences are.
lmao
small point but machiavelli didnt "name his book 'the prince'", actually had no title when he died and some publishers called it that. and yeah, like others have said, whats with the narrators voice? silly silly
yeah, and I thougt "the Prince" was inspired by Cesar Borgia, not the Medici
murasakiendo yeah it was, though it was dedicated to Lorenzo de Medici who was the first Duke of Tuscany. Not to be mistaken with Il Magnifico, the first Lorenzo who came earlier. but yeah you're right about Cesar Borgia.
I think it was a grip of data from a journal or something. A great book though.
the book was dedicated to Larenzo de Medici but machiavelli used Cesera Borgia as the prime example of what a prince should be.
heyyy amsa kids where are youuu??
song at 24:40???? please
Maybe one of Era's song.
Indulgences.......Except it wouldn’t....
Awful descriptive comparison of Leonardo and Michelangelo regarding the 'contest' by the commentator.
tell me machiavelli doesn't look like senator palpatine at 33:47...ruthless politics :D
Because of the tumbnail (at first glance the dude looked like he was wearing a Santa Claus costume 😂) I thought it was a parody of the tv series The Medici Master of Florence...
Δεν είναι ποτέ τελείως άχρηστοι οι άνθρωποι που εκτιμούν την Ομορφιά
Good series but the music seems totally anachronistic.
It seems like operatic Mozart - way out of its time.
I have a degree in both Reformation history and theology. I can assure you, that while there were abuses in the Catholic Church of the period, the explanation of Catholic theological teachings and historical events presented in this video are false, inaccurate and exaggerated. The soical, political and religious events of the period are complicated and can not be explained in a 55 minute video which has all the signs of biased and anti-Catholic propaganda designed more for sensationalism, than historical facts.
I hate the producers of this film. Why is Renaissance art so great, but Renaissance music not appropriate for the story?
LOL it wasn't much of an effort was it
Because this is the story about the Medici. Perhaps the only copywright they can afford is only for this 2 songs they played over an over. No need to hate anyone. You watch this for free.
They don't want you distracted due to it's nature, plus it builds suspense and emotion in the background without people realizing it.
There was no music in that time. Music was invented in 1885; but didn't get popular until 1985 with the invention of the radio. Check your facts, pal. ( ° _ʖ °)
Nyah Senai radio was not invented in 1985
Can someone tell me the name of the song, please? Thank you!
Have you found it? I'm looking for it too
Not yet :(
Found it yet?
No, I haven't. Can you lend me a hand?
I tried shazam; it was useless. Further investigation is needed me thinks.
What is the song and who is the singer at the end please?
Anyone know the song at 4:00
Thank goodness for Martin Luther!!
Trey Williams amen to that
Trey Williams Not really oO People were possessed of his kind of "puritan theory" for christianity (in the meanning: guys, let's be poor and extreamly moral, and very religious:) The primitives, who listened to this propaganda raped, killed, robber..and broke christianity at the end. I don't see anything good: ok, maybe for "primitive Germans" as Italians thought about them it was fine, hehe.
Trey Williams let's not forget the sack of Rome. The thirty years' war and the hundred years' war. Thank "GOD" I came to my senses and walked away from the cesspool of hypocrisy we call Christianity.
Mr Williams - you love death, as does your stupid god, fool
alus nova idiot , you can't see anything good in Christs teachings ?
Apostle Peter was not buried in Rome. Peter was never pope of Rome. As even if Peter had not warned of Rome but had allied. There was no pope in Apostle Peters time. Rome was pontif maximus ruled or commonly called ceaser. If Apostle Peter were pontif maximus would he had murdered Apostle Paul? Rome is where Apostle Paul was murdered by order of pontif maximus.
Christian tradition and historical context disagrees with you. Tour his burial place and you will see.

7:35 the music is from stronghold isn't it?
Music at end ?
18:51
YO REY
what is thatsong: "pade remo or podremo ..."?
"Ameno"...
by a music group called Era..
With the original Christian, Jesus Christ himself, fervently preaching GOD IS LOVE, I do not get how Catholics committed murder in massive excessive numbers....in the "name of God." That, for me, is an utter and permanent turn off to religion.
The pope was a king in those days, not just a spiritual leader, who led wars and defended against them just like any other head of state. It’s not the same as if Francis was raising armies…completely different situation.
anyone here from world studies @ whitney??
20:25 music ???
So, the Greek elites came up with Democracy (see what Plato said about it)
The Florence elites came up with #lobbycracy (nothing to see here)
The selling of indulgences is one of the most wicked things that the Catholic Church ever engaged in. Utter blasphemy. As a Christian it offends me to my core.
I think burning, roasting, & torturing people would rank as very wicked. Creating the Jesuit’s & Inquisitions ranks up there also. The Catholic Church (as well as others) have Much to answer for & many of their sinful, debauchery continues to present day. I wonder if they were Ever of God.

But gold isn't poison

Isn't that about suffocation a popular myth spread by that one James Bond movie? In any way, gold seems to be toxic: www.livestrong.com/article/519855-can-gold-be-harmful-to-the-human-body/
Yes, it is. Causing renal failure.
Myth busters tested this and busted it, at least in terms of having it on for a few hours.
It heard it maybe that the base paint was white and probably lead based, thats a fairly reasonable possibility i thought.
Yes, but paint is!

I fucking hate the voice of the narrator, but this is a great series.
He delivers near perfect narration 😁
Is this video purposely leaving out the influence control of the Jewish money powers? Or is it just focusing on the art, patronage-power? Methinks this video has an agenda to glorify the august (brutal?) family... Lets see how honestly the church's fraudulent practices and indulgences are presented ?
The Medici sure seem like they out-Jewed the Jews in their ability to make businesses out of anything.
This is part 3. And if you care, do your own research.
This show is about art, mate😏
