Out of Italy : 1450-1650
Braudel, Fernand
Out of Italy : 1450-1650 / Fernand Braudel - Paris : Flammarion , 1991 - 245 p. : illus. ; 32 cm
By 1450, all of Europe and the Mediterranean were influenced by the teachings, the economies and the intellect of Italy. Its predominance had been achieved through a long history of effort, patience and strategic victories. How did Italy, or rather a handful of Italian cities, a few men all told, succeed in acquiring and maintaining a position of dominance vis-à-vis Byzantium, Islam, and western Europe? In this fascinating and insightful study, Fernand Braudel, one of the most distinguished historians of our time, examines the many-sided phenomenon of greatness that characterized Italy during the two centuries spanning the Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Baroque -- dazzling, multicoloured Italy, whose radiance shone all over Europe.
