Despre activitate
Immerse yourself in the 16th century and walk in the footsteps of history in Augsburg, the seat of the Fugger dynasty. This is not just a story about money; it is about how the colossal wealth of the Kaiser family financed the construction of St. Peter's Basilica and unintentionally triggered the Protestant Reformation. Accompany Historian Max and local expert Amelia as they decipher the great paradox of the Fuggers: Were they pious saints or brilliant sinners? From opulent palaces to the world's oldest social settlement, you will discover how their mixture of finance, faith, and power politics shaped the modern world.
