re: #327 SanFranciscoZionist

I wrote a mystery novel set in fifteenth century Florence—now they and we had some stuff in common. Different stuff from what we have in common with Rome.

Florence was a Republic, not under Vatican control. Yes, a lot of parallels. Strange the information I remember from being an art major. I learned a lot about Florence when learning about DiVInci and Michaelangelo.

The De Medici’s—there are about 3 HBO Miniseries just in that family history!
