Lorenzo de' Medici in conversation with Irene Hernández Velasco

The history that shapes Italy before its unification is marked throughout by the struggles of states, kingdoms, families and many conflicting interests. The Medici are the protagonists of many of these stories, which combine acts of bravery and cowardice that go beyond the mere conquest of power. Art, as an expression of opulence and supremacy, has its own prominent role to play.

Member of one of the most emblematic and representative families of European collectors, from the Renaissance to the present day, direct heir to a history entwined with the most admired art in the world, Lorenzo de' Medici has just published the novel El Fiorentino, in which he weaves a tale around a family jewel. He will talk to journalist Irene Hernández Velasco. She worked at El Mundo, as correspondent in New York, Rome, London and Paris until 2023, when she joined El Confidencial, where she is Head of Culture.
