The Medici prophecy, the first christian Kabbalah

The short documentary film is an iconological reflection on the famous cycle of frescoes by Domenico Ghirlandaio in the Sassetti chapel of the Basilica of Santa Trinita in Florence. The narrative reveals through images the reason behind the cycle of frescoes: Francesco Sassetti, Medici banker for three generations, conceived his funerary chapel as a wish predestining the pontificate to the son of Lorenzo the Magnificent, Giovanni de' Medici, future Pope Leo X , and it does so by contemplating the principles of the first Christian Kabbalah.
