The year is 1536.  In an amazing act of felicity, Cosimo I di Medici and Filippo Strozzi have set aside their differences in order to welcome you to a celebration at the Villa Torrigiani in the beautiful hills of Tuscany. Can these two former allies lay aside their animosity for even one day of festivities or will Italy's two greatest foes seek advantage at a gathering of the world's most powerful nobles?  Only one way to find out - come to Stagate Yule December 11, 2004.

 

The day promises to be filled with excitement (and no doubt rivalry) as these two foes vie for the support of the gathered merrymakers.  We promise to do our best to keep the peace and promote goodwill so that all gathered will be able to enjoy the day's festivities.  Come join us for a day merrymaking.
