In Florentine Patricians and Their Networks, Elisa Goudriaan
presents the first comprehensive overview of the cultural world and
diplomatic strategies of Florentine patricians in the seventeenth
century and the ways in which they contributed as a group to the
court culture of the Medici. The author focuses on the patricians'
musical, theatrical, literary, and artistic pursuits, and uses
these to show how politics, social life, and cultural activities
tended to merge in early modern society. Quotations from many
archival sources, mainly correspondence, make this book a lively
reading experience and offer a new perspective on
seventeenth-century Florentine society by revealing the mechanisms
behind elite patronage networks, cultural input, recruiting
processes, and brokerage activities.
