The famous Cosimo had to have servants carry him through his own home, and used to shout every time they neared doorway. When asked, “Why do you shout before we go through a doorway?” He answered “Because if I shout after you slam my head into the stone lintel it doesn’t help.” 3/?

1. Portrait of Cosimo de Medici by Bronzino. Pictured in his 60s, his face is very lined with age (and pain). He wears a round wool red cap and a red wool robe, in the humble Florentine merchant style.
