In 1492, Lorenzo de’ Medici lay dying, his once-glorious reign crumbling under the weight of financial ruin and public dissent. His death marked the end of an era and paved the way for his greatest rival, the fiery preacher Savonarola, to seize power in Florence. From fiery sermons and prophetic visions to the infamous Bonfire of the Vanities, Florence was transformed—and by Savonarola’s radical reign.
