Synopsis
Excerpt from The Age of the Condottieri: A Short History of Medieval Italy From 1409-1530
IN the first section of this history, entitled Guelphs and Ghibellines, the fortunes of the peninsula were traced from the death of the. Emperor Frederick II. In 1250 down to the Council of Pisa in 1409. In the present section it is proposed to carry on the narrative down to the fall of Florence in 1530. Having arrived at the middle point of our long journey, it will be convenient to cast an eye both forwards and backwards and to consider brie?y the fortunes of the five principal states of Italy, Milan, Florence, Venice, Rome and Naples, during these three momentous centuries. We will shortly recapitulate the steps by which they gradually attained the rank of states, and follow their destinies to the point where they are just about to merge into a common Italy.
