1.I cried a time when love wanted to.
How is Lorenzo the magnificent? An political hipocritical? The artist destroyed by love that he never had? He doesn't know.
Renaissance Florence, is ambiguous and beautiful. Lorenzo De Medici born in Florence. It will be the founder of the first republic of the humanism. In idealis world he cud but in the real world he will have to faith crimes and intrigues for power, he will have to be Abel and some time he will have to take immoral decisions and every time he will lose his soul piece by piece. Lorenzo wants a united republic but the external fights and the inner demons inside his self hurts so much. The only thing that he have is his art, because beauty comes from God.
When Lorenzo born the Medici family was at the height of political power in Florence they controlled the complexity of republican institutions. His grandfather was a very powerful man of the finaceal of his bank . He was considered from politicals and lordship and he could speak to people.
In 1434 after just one year of his exile from the republic of Venice, Cosimo came back to Florence and exiles the Ablizi from Florence. Cosimo only in appearance let the politicals to decide but all decisions are allredy taken by himself. There are only formal decisions. Lorenzo is the son of Piero (Cosimo) De'Medici e Lucrezia Tornabuoni. Lorenzo born January 1st 1449 in Florence, he was baptized at the 6st day before the Epiphany. His brother and sister are Giuliano and Bianca. They love they're big brother. Lorenzo and Giuliano received humanistic and political educazione from they're grandfather and their parents. When he was a child was educated by Gentile da Urbino. From 1457 he was educated by teacher Cristoforo Landino and Giovanni Argiropulo study to Omero. Marsilio Ficino for filosofy New-Platonica and Antonio Squarcilupi he teach him to dance. Lorenzo and his grandfather had an excellent relationship, they talk about filosofy and others arguments. Lorenzo was very interest about the New-platonica Academy, when he was 12 years old he takes part to the long speech discussions of Marsilio at the Medicea home at Careggi. Thig not to normal for someone of his age. In 1463 Giovanni son of Cosimo deaths and Cosimo is very anxious about the successor which is Piero but, his son is very sick he has the gout and his father hope's that one day when Lorenzo and Giuliano becomes adults can take the successione. The anxiety of Cosimo gets worse than ever when nobles and bankers famili name's Pazzi try to become papal banker's. Whitout the Church money the Medici bank can go bankruptcy. But Cosimo believes in Lorenzo he just needs to be able in this work.
For the Pazzi famili Cosimo it's just a banker, an trader how made fortune with his father's money. He is not a lord, he can't stai in to the lordship that place its reserved only for Lord's. Before Cosimo deaths asked his son to promise that the educazione of the boy's will never missing. He will have to treat Lorenzo and Giuliano as men's.
In the Florence of1466 not every noble family have money in fact, the Donati family needs a loan to marry one of them daughter the little one. That's why Lorenzo accompanied his father on the Donati's home. Manno Donati wellcome Piero and Lorenzo in they're home when Lorenzo was attracted by the large librery.
"Can I read a book and let you gentelmens talk about business?"
" Of course you can yong man, that way, I don't thing you are interest to our problems."
Lorenzo brings a book and seat close to the chimney, when someone interrupt him:
Excuses me I didn't know that somebody was here. I don't want to disturb. I live you read....
"No you don't disturb me I was reading this book waiting for my father.
Lorenzo was thinking :again, Lucrezia and her beautiful face.Her eyes so green and her long blonde hair left Lorenzo without words since at the first time he meet her. It doesn't matter if his father told him to stay away from Lucrezia Donati, first of all because she is a Lady and second most important think, Donati Mannu doesn't have money. For Piero they can't be even friend's, if the enemy will ever now about this relazion they will gossip about the way it must be. The nobles don't have relationships to the others. It's wrong. But Lorenzo and Lucrezia they meet in secret.
Lucrezia came close to Lorenzo whispering.
"When can I see you again? My brother's are so boring. I miss you and I miss to play with you."
" I don't know but I hope before I go to Milan"
"when do you have to live?"
" l'm liveng in two week's, said Lorenzo disappointed,closing the book was reading."
"Agree said Lucrezia." Will see, good afternoon my friend."
Lucrezia lived Lorenzo very sad. Soon after Piero brings his son and returns home.
During the dinner Piero and Lucrezia since to be a bit thesis and Bianca look at her brother very nervous.
"I want you to live in Milan tomorrow." Said Piero severely.
" But I thought I have to live between two week's, why this decision father?"
"You will have to go in every bank."
" But father...."
"You will do exactly what your father said and you will not protest. Prepare your things you will live tomorrow morning"
Lorenzo fall in love with Lucrezia and he don't want to live Florence but he have to. His mother foce him to obey. Beeng the major son means that he have to be responsible, he have to repress his love for Lucrezia and go to Milan.
Oh how he regret the time when he doesn't have any responsibility. In that particular moment Lorenzo begans to whrite a book called "Canzoniere". A book of poetry dedicated to love, to his platonic tormented love for Lucrezia.
"I feel growing day by day
Her pretty eyes
This Love my major enemy
Not an innocent angel
I sow the lady on a fresh river
I think my love
In time love a shadow
Becouse every place
Comes in into my heart
I stay often on a rock
And I thank you my love
For this torment
And if love returns
To that sweet time
Oh happy home acostumeted
Was the green of my hope
When I was weiting
And love cames clouser
To exhausted my
Couse nothing is more excellent
It make' me think
That sweet love never being
I think of you in every moment
I think of you in every single way
My mind confused
Oh my beautiful and proud love
I luckinng with my mortale eye's
I am not your certin love
Sow my love I step away
Couse I don't want to live you
You will love my
And I will love you forever.
When Lorenzo was writing this poetry was very exalting.
