Biondo Flavio (1392-1463), humanist and historian, was a pioneering
figure in the Renaissance discovery of antiquity; famously, he was
the author who popularized the term "Middle Age" to describe the
period between the fall of the Roman Empire and the revival of
antiquity in his own time. While serving a number of Renaissance
popes, he inaugurated an extraordinary program of research into the
history, cultural life, and physical remains of the ancient world.
Italy Illuminated (1453), of which this is the second and final
volume, is a topographical work describing Italy region by region.
Its aim is to explore the Roman roots of modern Italy. As such, it
is the quintessential work of Renaissance antiquarianism.
