The Duke's Assassin: Exile and Death of Lorenzino de' Medici by Stefano Dall'Agl

Description: The Duke's Assassin by Stefano Dall'Aglio, Donald Weinstein Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Stefano DallAglio sheds new light on the notorious Florentine Lorenzino de Medici (also known as Lorenzaccio) and on two of the most infamous assassinations of Italian Renaissance history. In 1537 Lorenzino changed the course of history by murdering Alessandro de Medici, first duke of Florence, and paving the way for the accession of the new duke, Cosimo I. In 1548 Lorenzino was killed in Venice in revenge for the assassination he had committed. Basing his work on extensive research in the historical archives of Florence and Simancas, DallAglio reconstructs the events surrounding these murders and involving the Medici, their loyalists, the Florentine republican exiles, and some of the most powerful sovereigns of the time. The first publication in a century, and the first work in English, to examine the life of Lorenzino de Medici, this fascinating revisionist history is as gripping as a detective novel, as DallAglio unravels a 500-year-old mystery, revealing that behind the bloody death of the dukes assassin there was the Emperor Charles V. Author Biography Stefano DallAglio is a research fellow at the University of Leeds, UK. He has published several books on the political and religious history of Renaissance Florence and Italy. Donald Weinstein is professor emeritus, University of Arizona. He is the author of several books on Italian history and is a world authority on Savonarola and the Italian Renaissance.
