A radical new perspective on the dynamics of urban life in
Renaissance Italy The cities of Renaissance Italy comprised a
network of forces shaping both the urban landscape and those who
inhabited it. In this illuminating study, those complex relations
are laid bare and explored through the lens of contemporary urban
theory, providing new insights into the various urban centers of
Italy's transition toward modernity. The book underscores how the
design and structure of public space during this transformative
period were intended to exercise a certain measure of authority
over its citizens, citing the impact of architecture and street
layout on everyday social practices. The ensuing chapters
demonstrate how the character of public space became increasingly
determined by the habits of its residents, for whom the streets
served as the backdrop of their daily activities. Highlighting
major hubs such as Rome, Florence, and Bologna, as well as other
lesser-known settings, Street Life in Renaissance Italy offers a
new look at this remarkable era.
