The leader of the armory workers was Massimo, the strongest man Lorenzo had ever known. This morning, as usual, he worked relentlessly, hammering, flattening and shaping a huge slab of steel into a breastplate for the duke’s war horse. Not many men had the strength and ability to fashion such large plates into armor. It was demanding and exhausting work, and no one in the house of Arrighi did it better.
