Dinner & A Book - April Blood

Episode #1406 - April Blood

On a Sunday in April 1478, assassins attacked Lorenzo de Medici and his brother as they attended Mass in the cathedral of Florence. The Medicis were feared and resented for they new role as political bosses in Florence. Why?

Why and how did they come to hold a powerful position in Florence? Join me and my guest, Alice Martin as we untangle the web of treachery, ambition and revenge in Lauro Martines’ April Blood. We will prepare a intriguing Tuscan meal as we slowly reveal the dark side of the Renaissance man Lorenzo de Medici.
