Isn't lovely, all alone?

A tribute to the beautiful badass Contessina de Bardi.
She's one of my favourite characters all time, I'm forever grateful to Annabel Scholey for this amazing performance. I would even dare to say that the first season of the Medici series could be worth watching even just for her.
The way she deals with all the frustration and unhappiness in her life, the constant rejection from her husband and the politically tense situation, transforming all this into an unstoppable force is impressive.
She's strong, she's determinate, she fights to have a place and to keep it, to show the others that she has a function in the family and is more than a breeder for the next generation.
And she's fundamental, her son, her daughter in law, her brother in law, her husband and even later her grandson seek her advice and value her opinion.
She's a complex character who deserves to be known and appreciated, so here we are.
Hope you enjoy!

    @Emperor okay, so just try think like Cosimo... a person who burdened by toscana, a whole regions... he can just neglected the florence if he want but he don't.... If you're Contessina you can leave him... but she's not... why? Because if there's no contessina there's no Cossimo, if there's no cossimo, renaissance aren't started, if renaissance not started, well maybe you and me are just peasant who are really didn't have education and only eat bread and die in the plague without care in this time

    today, for sure, but back then it was not so easy, leaving your husband was a crime, and she seemed very religious too, there was practicly no chance for a divorce as the only legit reason for divorce for a woman was infertility of the man, and they already had a child, and because of that, with leaving her husband, if she would have gotten away with it, she would have also left her family, her friends, the support of the church and her status. As he never abused her, I don't think this would have been worth it.

    Contessina is such a beautiful women, inside and out. I was crying of disappointment when Cosimo treated her like that, just ignoring her love and devotion for him because of his pride, even going as far as humiliating her with his mistress. It made me so angry😭 I wished she had gone with her first love, but she even refused him because of Cosimo. She put her family first, which makes her such a strong and wonderful women. I wished Cosimo had shown her more affection, but oh well...

She had to stay with her husband and family and he should have treated her better since she was an amazing wife and matriarch who did everything for her family like Cosimo did. That's why they had such chemistry and understood each other so well. But life is complicated and not that easy. And this show is so good because of this.

    In his eyes, when she saved him and sent him into exile she basically ruined any chance of his family changing Florence into his vision. He went away very angry at her and punished her disobeyence and what he considered foolishness by not taking her with the family. Then, in Venice we was probably given information that she had something with Ezio, her first love, while he rejected the slave girl for days and only took pity on her at first. I think he gave in to Maddalena in the end because he thought Contessina had already cheated on him and he brought the slave girl with him to punish her more. After he finally let Contessina back into his bed and heart, he never looked at Maddalena again. He's not the devil everyone portrays him to be.
