Trailer

After ruthless patriarch Piero's death, a new generation of Medici is key to Florentine history. Piero de' Medici still incarnates honorable business, but the bank is now is too deep trouble to hide, as he must even call small debts from local merchants and borrow against future papal income, so rival Jacopo di Pazzi and his ruffian nephew Francesco smell Medici blood, planning to oust them from the council, provoking and setting up Giuliano Medici to be abused yet seem a false accuser. The mighty duchy of Milan can't repay its huge, crucial loan to the bank, but their Sforza general offers his troops to invade Firenze and eliminate the warlike Medici rivals. Lorenzo gets wind of it and calls the ransack off, having reached an alternative truce in the council and deposed his father Piero as family and bank head.
