At first incredulous, Margaret discovered that this was just the tip of an enormous iceberg.

E’ quello che succede in Voci di donne, un podcast dove i monumenti del Duomo di Firenze si raccontano al femminile, dando così voce a chi ha sempre faticato a farsi sentire e che ora ci dà la sua versione dei fatti.

Il 26 Aprile 1478, nella Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore a Firenze, va in scena l'episodio più drammatico del Rinascimento: Bernardo Bandini, Francesco Pazzi e Antonio Maffei aggrediscono Giuliano e Lorenzo de' Medici.
