It just wasn’t as gripping as the usual Ken Burns work. So much homage, but no edge. Passive and repetitive. Of course I learned things, but it doesn’t really transcend a narrative biography.

It was long and drawn out. I expected it to be a better program. Now Ken Burns’ best work.

Nothing compares to the book:

Paul Strathern
The Medici (Italian Histories series)

Discusses the major artists of that time in depth.

Now that I think about it, feels like we are all becoming the "popolo minuto"! Renaissance Florence seems a lot like the U.S. believe it or not.

That’s what I was thinking about too. What a tragedy if she was that intelligent and never had an opportunity to use and share it.
