What is a historically accurate book on the Renaissance in Florence?

by BertCodeDanger

I am very interested in the Renaissance and the influence that the Medici family had on it. Are there any books that are historically accurate that depict the chain of events at a more personal level at that point in time in or around Florence? Thank you for any/all help in this book hunt!

Hi there, those interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
