Episode 100: Thug Life--Benvenuto Cellini (Part 2) (Patreon)

Benvenuto Cellini is remembered as one of the greatest artists of his age, and at the same time as a man of explosive passions, equally inclined to murder and disturbing sexual escapades. In this second episode: Cellini and his path to vengeance, summoning demons inside the Colosseum, the 48 Laws of Power at the court of the French King, escaping from prison, surviving poisonings, Perseus and Medusa, and much, much more. If you are looking for entertainment set in the Renaissance, you really can’t ask for anything better.

“Brother, this is the greatest sorrow and the greatest trial that could happen to me in the whole course of my life. But don’t despair; before you lose sight of him who did the mischief, you shall see yourself revenged by my hand.” — Benvenuto Cellini

“Folk too gathered round us, for it had become clear that our words meant swords and daggers.” — Benvenuto Cellini
