- As Florence has been prospering for a while thanks to the magnificent's policies, Lorenzo now wishes to bring a permanent peace to promise a secured future of his family even if it takes him to let go of his virtuous believes he once had.
- After seven prosperous years, Lorenzo aims to prolong the Italian peace indefinitely by hosting a conference. Papal general and cousin Girolamo Riario hopes to provoke a Florentine war declaration by occupying ally Ferrara and taking hostage all Florentines. Tommaso Peruzzi is hidden in the magistrate's palace, until a diabolical ruse involving wife Caterina Sforza allows a cynical gamble with the exile lives, which Bruno Bernardi convinces Lorenzo to use as heartbreaking proof to turn the pope from protecting his nephew to joining the peace conference, which the French king formally invites Sixtus IV to, part of a cynical series of false or opportunistic moves by him and Lorenzo to claim the leading pacifier role, finally sacrificing grudges over the murders of Giuliano and a bishop. Lorenzo sacrifices smart son Giovanni's artistic ambitions to be groomed as Medici candidate for the papacy. Terminally ill, Lucrezia confiscates Piero's dueling sword and claims Clarice to succeed her as manager of the bank, despite ethical reservations about 'borrowing' from the city treasury to finance Lorenzo's expensive generosity, bribery and patronage.—KGF Vissers
