Take the following as truth: At the Carnival of 1494, he shamed the Florentines into throwing their  vanities  not only clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics, but books and paintings, with Botticelli contributing some of his own onto a giant fire on the Piazza della Signoria.
Then the following statement: "He guilted Florentines into destroying a billion dollars worth of their possessions." is true, false, or inconclusive?
