Lorenzo's Blessing
A freeform of Art, Intrigue and Diplomacy set in the Italian Renaissance
Lorenzo's Blessing is a short (around four hour) freeform based on real characters and events in the height of the Italian Renaissance. The setting is Florence in 1492 and characters from Lucrezia Borgia to Machiavelli have come to pay their respects at the funeral of Lorenzo de' Medici.
Lorenzo was a banker, a merchant, a great patron of the Arts and the ruler of Florence with the hereditary title of 'First Citizen'. His death has left a great hole at the centre of Florentine and Medici affairs which cannot be filled by a single person.
The game was last run at Intercon in March 2006.
