The Women of the Medici Virtual Tour – Power Behind the Throne
Embark on a fascinating virtual journey through the history of one of Europe’s most powerful and influential families: the Medici.
As the saying goes, “behind every great man, there is a great woman,” and the women of the Medici family played crucial roles in shaping the course of history. In this special session, we shine a spotlight on these remarkable women—patrons of the arts, political strategists, and influential figures in their own right.
Meet Caterina de’ Medici, the queen who brought Italian culture to France and revolutionized court life. Discover the strength and resilience of Eleonora di Toledo, the Duchess of Tuscany, who was a patron of the arts and an advocate for Florence’s development. Learn about the legacy of Anna Maria Luisa, the last of the Medici line, who preserved the family’s artistic treasures for the city of Florence.
This tour will reveal a side of the Medici family that is often overlooked but deeply significant.
Don’t miss this unique virtual experience as we delve into the lives, power, and influence of the women who stood at the heart of the Medici dynasty!
