Castracani was a condottieri, a ruler of Lucca, early 15th century, fought the hegemony of Florence over Tuscany and almost broke it. Mix of facts and fiction, in imitation of Plutarch. In fact more a treatise on fate. Story of tricks and warrior actions, in chronological order.

The ruler of Lucca at the time, this is more of an essay of another “Prince” at a fragile time in Italian politics. It almost felt like an obituary or short biography.
