Synopsis

Francesco Petrarca And The Revolution Of Cola Di Rienzo is a book written by Mario Emilio Cosenza that explores the life and times of two prominent figures in Italian history. Francesco Petrarca was a celebrated poet and scholar who lived during the 14th century, while Cola Di Rienzo was a politician and revolutionary who played a key role in the overthrow of the papal government in Rome during the same period.The book provides a detailed account of the political and social context in which Petrarca and Di Rienzo lived, as well as their personal and professional relationships with one another. It also explores the broader historical significance of their actions, including their impact on the development of Italian humanism and the Renaissance.Through a careful analysis of primary sources and historical records, Cosenza paints a vivid picture of the complex political landscape of medieval Italy, as well as the intellectual and cultural currents that shaped the era. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Italy, the Renaissance, or the intellectual and cultural movements that shaped the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume is the outcome of those notes that were taken during the preparation of my previous work, Petrarch s Letters to Classical Authors (see op. cit., p. xiv). In the pages which are now offered to the reader, I have endeavored to draw a picture of Petrarca as a statesman; for I firmly believe that, even if Petrarca had never sung a single sonnet in honor of Laura, he would still have been dear to endless generations of Italians for having been the first real Italian patriot a man whose horizon was not bounded by narrow party lines, and whose heart, throughout his three score years and ten of busy life, was wholly devoted to the cause of I talia una. It is evident that the material thus offered for research study was too abundant to be included within the covers of a single volume. In fact, it soon became necessary to concentrate upon only one period of Petrarca spolitical activities, and out of three or more possible choices, I have chosen to treat of Petrarca srelations with Cola di Rienzo.
