In this episode, we’ll enter the halls of Florentine power, witnessing the preparation of the Third Aretine War. We’ll walk along the soldiers across the treacherous roads of Casentino, and stand side by side the knights and the infrantrymen in the midst of one of the fiercest battles of the time: the Battle of Campaldino.

With this 5th episode continues our first season, "Florentine Blood": a tale of bitter rivalries and shrewd politics, that shaped the history of Italy for centuries to come.
