1434: The Year a Magnificent Chinese Fleet Sailed to Italy and Ignited the Renaissance
from William Morrow
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:

This book begins with a lot of technical stuff. If you majored in Latin to avoid taking math, don't give up, just turn the pages. About the third chapter it gets really interesting and fun to read. It is filled with extraordinary bits of information that will delight you.

Brunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture
from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:

There must have been something in the water in Florence, Italy during the 13, 14, and 1500's... the amount of genius that city has produced continues to stagger the imagination: Dante, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonerotti, ... and now (I discover) Brunelleschi. There's no denying the simple... more info

The House of Medici: Its Rise and Fall

The many very good reviews on "The House of Medici: Its Rise and Fall" compelled me to read it. It was a pretty good read indeed.

Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling
from Books on Tape

Customer Review:

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Many of the stories are things I have heard before, but woven seemlessly into an insightful narrative. King's assessment of Michelangelo's ceiling and its radical importance in pictorial history is correct in its context and amplitude; my knowledge thereby... more info

Magnifico: The Brilliant Life and Violent Times of Lorenzo de' Medici
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $22.72

Customer Review:

Calling this book average is probably giving it more than it deserves. I did not enjoy this book except for some parts pertaining to the Pazzi conspiracy.
The author does not delve deeply enough into the subject. He makes mention of Lorenzo's brilliance, charisma, and achievements but does... more info
