"You're in Florence — the most beautiful city human beings ever built, and one of the bloodiest. People come here for the art. Nobody warns them the art has a body count. Stand still a second and take in what actually happened on these calm stone streets. A pope helped plan a murder inside the cathedral, timed to the holiest instant of the Mass, when every head in the building was bowed."
