Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an account of the remarkable rise and fall of Cola di Rienzi, a charismatic and enigmatic figure who briefly seized power in Rome in the 14th century. Once a humble notary, Rienzi exploited the discontent of the Roman people to establish himself as the city's 'tribune', a position that granted him near-dictatorial authority. Drawing inspiration from the city's classical past, he aspired to restore Rome to its former glory as the capital of a united Italy. However, Rienzi's rule was marked by instability and violence, and after just seven months he was overthrown and executed by an angry mob. The author provides a nuanced exploration of Rienzi's motivations and the factors that contributed to his downfall, shedding light on the complex political and social dynamics of medieval Italy. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating study of a man who, despite his flaws, left an enduring mark on the history of Rome and the broader course of Italian history.
