The first is that Giovanni, played by Daftin Hoffman, was not murdered, but died naturally of old age, and he was still teaching his two sons how to behave in the hospital bed. Although I understand why the writer said he died after eating poisonous grapes in order to create conflict...
Secondly, Cosimo's age is a mystery. He should be 6 years older than Lorenzo, but on TV it looks like Lorenzo is 6 years older than him... His son looks like his younger brother, his wife looks younger than his daughter-in-law, and even thinks his father is too old A bit...he was 40 when his father died, but this is also a bug, more on that later.
Then there is the final decision on the construction of the dome of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Hundred Flowers, which is simply nonsense! How could such a large project be decided? ! Historically, in 1418, the Florentine government publicly solicited proposals to design and build the dome. Construction began in 1420 and was completed in 1436. However, Giovanni died in 1429, when the dome was half-built...
and the war with Lucca was also problematic. The war was in 1429, which was in line with the setting of the fight after Giovanni's death in the play, but again, the dome of the church was half built at that time, and the war was not to defend Lucca, but because Lucca fell to Milan and Florence sent troops to attack. The generals sent by Milan were indeed Sforza at the beginning, but after being bribed by Florence, they reassigned a new general, Piccinino, mainly to fight with Iraq. In 1430, Cosimo saw that the war was laboring and hurting people and money and it was not over. He went to Verona to recuperate. He was accused of treason by the Albizzi family and almost lost his head. However, Cosimo in the TV series actually took the initiative to go to the front line to find the Milan general. The other party also negotiated with Lucca to retreat, and then went to Florence to show off, excuse me? ? ! !
At present, I have only watched two episodes, and I have caught so many bugs. I may update my mood in the future.
In fact, what I want to say is that TV dramas are good-looking, but don't look at it as history, it's just purple.
PS
The first season seems to be about Cosimo. In fact, I am also very interested in the story of his grandson Lorenzo. I wonder if there will be a second season if it will be filmed?
