The Culture and Politics of Regime Change in Italy, c.1494-c.1559

This comprehensive volume offers a groundbreaking survey of regime change in Italy during the tumultuous period of 1494-1559, challenging the notion that this phenomenon is a modern phenomenon.

Through a comparative and broad approach, the book uncovers the diverse political, cultural, and economic factors that ensured the survival (or demise) of regimes in major polities like Florence, Rome, and Venice, as well as less-studied regions like Savoy.

With provocative new insights, this book will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in cultural, political, and military history.
