Well, thank you sir.  I'm pretty sure that The Borgias and the Renaisscance Popes would come in handy.

hmm...that's not the easiest thing to tackle, Mod. until 1861 (1870 if you count the unification with Rome), there was no unified Italian state; it was a band of micro-states that lacked even the loose confederacy that the Holy Roman Empire had. if this is your topic of interest, my suggestions are: The Prince Origins of the State in Italy: 1300-1600 (VERY DRY READ) Francesco Guicciardini's A History of Italy The Rise and Fall of House Medici Venice Venice: The Hinge of Europe The Renaissance Popes The Borgias Venice: City, Republic, and Empire Pulci's Morgante and Medici Politics The Pope's Elephant (I haven't read it, but I've heard good things) Church and Politics in Renaissance Italy that should give you a pretty solid basic knowledge of 16th and 17th century Italy, but I'll try to find more for you. |

| ItalianStereotype | do you want to know about Italy in general, a particular state, or the Holy See? | |

| Miss Modular | Actually, right now, I'm interested in Italy during the 16th and 17th centuries. Surely you could help there. | |

| Miss Modular | I was actually thinking about boning up on World History now that I'm out of school. It would give me something to do. | |

anyone remember? does anybody remember back when the Poli/Philo. board was still entertaining? back before OaO turned it into a massive explanation of the tax code and when Vince was still the sputtering fool that so rarely appears these days? I do... we discussed religion and history made fun of vince for being poor watched vince jabber on about something...I didn't really read the thread talked about Hitler discussed ideologies and we made...fun...of...vince why, vince even had a few friends over for a playdate! thems were the days |
