Women and Renaissance Wickedness

We take a close, and at times uncomfortable, look at what life was like for women in the 15th/16th century as we follow along with Episode 4 of the drama Leonardo. We explore the societal pressures on motherhood and the associated health risks, as well as the limited career choices for women. Plus, filming in the time of Covid and how safety measures implemented for Leonardo on set in Italy became an industry blueprint. Guests include Matilda De Angelis (Caterina), Catherine Fletcher (Renaissance historian and author), Corrado Trionfera (co-executive producer Lux Vide), and Dan Percival (director).
