About The de' Medici Experience
Managers & Moderators
Description
The de' Medici were perhaps that greatest impetus of the Italian Renaissance--most especially Cosimo , Lorenzo and Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. These men created an environment where artists, engineers and scientist of the day could flourish. Well, that is the purpose of this group, namely to create an environment that nurtures creativity and inspires innovative ideas.
