Italians became fascinated by the New World in the early modern
period. While Atlantic World scholarship has traditionally tended
to focus on the acts of conquest and the politics of colonialism,
these essays consider the reception of ideas, images and goods from
the Americas in the non-colonial states of Italy. Italians began to
venerate images of the Peruvian Virgin of Copacabana, plant
tomatoes, potatoes, and maize, and publish costume books showcasing
the clothing of the kings and queens of Florida, revealing the
powerful hold that the Americas had on the Italian imagination. By
considering a variety of cases illuminating the presence of the
Americas in Italy, this volume demonstrates how early modern
Italian culture developed as much from multicultural contact - with
Mexico, Peru, Brazil, and the Caribbean - as it did from the
rediscovery of classical antiquity.
