They are an extraordinary example of a Renaissance funerary monument, designed and decorated with sculptures by Michelangelo, such as the Madonna and Child. With your Expert Guide, learn who the Medicis were, how they rose to power, and their relationship with Michelangelo, da Vinci, and other great artists of the Renaissance.
