[Western] Medici Family

[rizardo dartusio]

Below is an interesting story on 60 Minutes about the exhumation of the Medici family in Italy.  They are trying to find out about what killed them.  In the 1500's the Medici's were the most powerful family in Italy.  Several became Popes.  They were patrons on the arts, science, etc. and responsible for making Florence what it was.  There were also rumors of them murdering family members for a variety of reasons.  Interesting article.
