- Synopsis:
- It is 16th century Florence and the city is undergoing a renaissance. It is a city of poets and painters, wealth and marvels; but there's a canker in the bosom of paradise - the city is ruled by the dangerous and power-hungry Duke de Medici (Martin Benson), a duplicitous despot who will stop at nothing to expand his power base. He is opposed by a secret army of Republicans, of whom one such patriot is Marco del Monte (Edmund Purdom): painter, swordsman, champion of the needy and Renaissance Man to the core, del Monte uses his wits, cunning and sword in the struggle to help overthrow the tyrant de Medici.
