Damn it feels good to be a Medici


The Medici family lost power almost three hundred years ago, but from all I heard about them this weekend, you'd think they're still the Corleones of Florence.

The Palazzo Pitti? Sumptuous because of the Medici.

The best, and only, "delux" cell in the monastery of San Marco? Belonged to a Medici.

The collection of the museum of classical instruments at the Accademia? All made for a Medici.

The gelato flavor recommended to me by the girl working at the gelateria? Crema de' Medici.

I think it would sound pretty good with my name...
Maria (de' Medici)

P.S. Just in case you missed it (Dad), the title of this blog refers to this.  Homegrown gangsta rap - what up H-town?
