Originally published in 1982, this book tackles the underlying
problem of what is meant by 'the Renaissance' and outlines those
social, economic and topographical factors which triggered it off.
It covers a number of subjects, the family, war, trade, religion
and art but recognizing that the Renaissance was essentially an
urban growth it focusses on 7 great Italian cities: Florence, Rome,
Venice, Milan, Urbino, Mantua and Ferrara. It also includes studies
of some extraordinary Renaissance individuals: Federigo
Montefeltro, Isabella d'Este, Machiavelli, Baldasssare Castiglione,
and the Medici clan, among others.
