Synopsis

Explore a sweeping history of Italy from the fall of the Western Empire to the dawn of the French Revolution.

This edition presents a concise, authoritative look at Italy’s long tale, tracing political power, war, and culture across centuries. It engages with prior scholarship, explains why some popular summaries fall short, and offers a clear, carefully sourced narrative that focuses on major states, cities, and turning points without getting lost in unnecessary detail.

- Learn how rulers, republics, and church authorities shaped the peninsula from Odoacer to the early modern era
- See how Italian cities like Florence and Venice rose, battled, and sometimes declined in power
- Understand the shifting balance of empire, papacy, and local lords across Lombardy, Naples, Sicily, and Italy’s islands
- Follow the evolving structures of government, feudalism, and regional identities that set the stage for later history

Ideal for readers seeking a focused, readable survey that connects political events to everyday life in medieval and early modern Italy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
