Early Evidence of "the Medici effect" Innovators change the world by stepping into the Intersection: a place where ideas from different fields and cultures meet and collide, ultimately igniting an explosion of extraordinary new discoveries. This proliferation of new ideas is termed "the Medici effect" - referring to the remarkable burst of creativity enabled by the Medici banking family in Renaissance Italy 15
