Medici

After 20 years of grooming, Cosimo de' Medici replaces his late father in the Signoria of Florence.

Cosimo boosts morale and the economy by undertaking the impossible: building the cathedral dome.

While Albizzi uses the plague to turn Florentines against Cosimo, two Medici family members are lost.

After Cosimo's arrest, his wife tries to buy a Signoria member's help.

In exile in Venice, Cosimo finds himself drawn to a slave woman.

Cosimo returns to Florence while Rinaldo is held for trial on treason and tyranny.

The Signoria now has a vacant seat, and Cosimo is asked to choose who should occupy it.

Pazzi has managed to convince the pope to remove the Medici as the church's bankers.
