Italy, late 15th century. A fragmented peninsula, shaped by dynastic ambitions, secret plots, and underground wars. The Italian states vie for power, and political violence often takes the form of conspiracies.
In this book, the author guides us through one of the most turbulent periods in Italian history, recounting famous episodes such as the Pazzi Conspiracy and the enigmatic figure of Girolamo Riario, nephew of Pope Sixtus IV. Alongside him, the clear-eyed and ruthless vision of Niccolò Machiavelli illuminates the political significance of Renaissance conspiracies.
Conspiracies and Power in the Italian Renaissance is not just a historical chronicle, but an exploration of the dynamics of power, diplomacy, violence, and ambition. A journey through courts, churches, and palaces, revealing the true face of politics in Renaissance Italy.
