SYNOPSIS

The Invention of Finance: How the Medici Created the Banking System That Still Rules the World Today

This is not just the story of a family. This is the story of the greatest financial revolution of all time. The Medici didn’t just amass wealth—they invented modern banking. Letters of credit, international finance, financial speculation—every tool that fuels today’s global economy was born in Renaissance Florence. This documentary unveils the Medici as you’ve never seen them before: not just patrons of the arts, but ruthless strategists, financial masterminds, and architects of a system that still shapes our world.
