"life only deserves to be conserved in joy, and the only joy for man is the search for the truth without deviations. life is worth something if you hope to find the truth one day. and the truth, like the stars, is very difficult to reach. from the plain and on mountaintops we look at the stars without the sensation of going near them. it's the same with the truth. you don't have to go close to see it."

The Age of the Medici 1972
It is easy for an historian to write, “Cosimo de’ Medici greeted the Venetian ambassador.” This is accurate. It is something else to provide the clothing, the room, the furnishings, the ambience, the voices, the lighting, not to mention the words, vocal tones, comportment, emotions and actual bodies of Cosimo and the ambassador. All this must be inaccurate, a portrait not of Cosimo, but of an actor. What were people like then? What was Florence like? We can only imagine, like Walt Disney, Rossellini, or Giotto.
