Marsilio writing letters to himself.

I’m not sure the context that this is situated in—maaaybe Pulci related? It’s the right year for the start of that grievance. But maybe it’s something else entirely. The footnotes weren’t helpful so alas, a little in the dark.

It could be Lorenzo related? We see a cooling in their relationship around this time and I know Marsilio felt a little betrayed/hurt that it took Lorenzo two or three years before he shut Pulci down in terms of the more flagrant public insults (always done in verse because this is the Renaissance baybeee). That said, who knows. Pure idle speculation on my side.

But that aside, it’s quite an interesting letter and gives some insight on how Marsilio certainly sought to conduct himself, even if he occasionally fell short of his own ideal and expectations.

ive started watching medici recently and while all of the costumes (especially the womens and ESPECIALLY constentina's) make me want to cry it is making me so excited for my trip to italy in summer.

they also portrayed Brunalleschi PERFECTLY like yes he is that dramatic this is the same guy who threw a temper tantrum, left florence and swore to never sculpt again because he lost 1 competition

As much as I love studying Psychology, my impulsive thoughts are telling me to learn Italian & then study art history in Florence instead. I love this city so much~

In my past life in Academia I helped on the DECIMA project, which is a cool mapping tool of 16th century Florence.

Anyway, I was revisiting it for Reasons and forgot the opening line to their data page:

Florentine governments of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were obsessive data collectors, even if they didn’t always know what to do with all the data they collected.

Notary: We have oodles of information.

Signoria: Great. We love this.

Notary: And I presume you all have a plan for this.

Signoria:

Notary:

Signoria:

Notary: I ... presume there is...a plan? for this?

anyway, I recommend people play around with it! It's a cool tool and lots of fun. There are thematic maps as well as the main map based on data from the 1551 and 1632 population census and the 1561 property census.

I really need season 2 of Blue Eye Samurai to get the full arcane treatment, not only so that it gets all the recognition and budget it deserves, but also so that we can get a BES S02 soundtrack with Mitski, Florence Welch, and Ethel Cain on it.

he asks you to stay and in that moment you realize that you are in a very real danger of no longer being your own person, that right now is the before and after of whatever you will become.

@therepublicofletters said: Francesco had to kill lorenzo because he knew he couldn’t resist the MAGNETIC POWER that drew literally every other person in Florence. He entirely had to run away to Rome. Guglielmo meanwhile …….

#my tag for the medici on a different blog is 'medici family horror show' and once again. there is something awful and uncanny about them #pulling my medici family&julio-claudian&florence-empire comparatives off my bookshelf: we can make all of you worse #SOMEDAY someday. s o m e d a y. i will acquire a collection of lorenzo's writing in english and a fully formed visual for him will #appear in my mind. until then i will simply never draw him the same way twice #francesco too now that i think about it. i have never given that man the same amount of wavy curls in it #italian renaissance tag #drawing tag #komiks tag
