Hello everyone, in this episode of the podcast I am speaking with Sabrina Moncini about Ficino and the Renaissance. Amongst other things we talk about how Cosimo Medici funded the beginning of The Florentine Academy devoted to Platonic and Hermetic Studies and how he asked Ficino to find the ancient texts and to translate them. Looking back to see forward, Chistianity and the schism between spirit and body, the soul and pleasure. Astrology and natural magic and dreams, Sabrina Moncini is an Astrologer, who is in private practice and who runs seminars and events in Italy. She lives 40 miles from Florence.
