Diplomacy in Renaissance Rome is an investigation of Renaissance
diplomacy in practice. Presenting the first book-length study of
this subject for sixty years, Catherine Fletcher substantially
enhances our understanding of the envoy's role during this pivotal
period for the development of diplomacy. Uniting rich but hitherto
unexploited archival sources with recent insights from social and
cultural history, Fletcher argues for the centrality of the papal
court - and the city of Rome - in the formation of the modern
European diplomatic system. The book addresses topics such as the
political context from the return of the popes to Rome, the 1454
Peace of Lodi and after 1494 the Italian Wars; the assimilation of
ambassadors into the ceremonial world; the prescriptive literature;
trends in the personnel of diplomacy; an exploration of travel and
communication practices; the city of Rome as a space for diplomacy;
and the world of gift-giving.
