(Syndicated, 1957) [an extravagantly lavish series of sets were the backdrop for this tale of the Italian Renaissance; Edward Purdom starred as the lead character named "Marco del Monte" (no relation to Del Monte vegetables we assume :-) The character was a painter by day and freedom fighter by night; his nemesis was the Medici family, suppresive patrons of the arts; And for good measure, the character of Count Machiavelli was portrayed by Kenneth Hyde; the love interest Angelica was played by Adrienne Corri; The series was filmed in Europe and distributed in the U.S. by Official Films]
