Venice as the Polity of Mercy
Richard Mackenney’s book has the goal of restoring the popolo (common people) of Venice to their rightful place in the history of the Venetian Republic. The author shares this enterprise with several scholars currently researching the lagoon city. But whereas others are seeking to undermine the mythic idea of a contented and quiescent popolo by examining popular resistance to the regime, Mackenney excavates an autonomous popular sphere in which t…

Shopping in the Renaissance
Shopping was as important in the Renaissance as it is today. This fascinating and original book breaks new ground in the area of Renaissance material culture, focusing on the marketplace and such related topics as middle-class to courtly consumption, the provision of foodstuffs, and the acquisition of antiquities and holy relics. The book investigates how men and women of different social classes went to the streets, squares, and shops to buy goo…
La "Regula" bilingue della scuola dei calzolai tedeschi a Venezia del 1383 . Lorenz Böninger , Maria Giovanna Arcamone
Commentary
The reason why opera became the preeminent musical form of the seventeenth century not only in Venice but also throughout Europe lies in the profound changes among European elites at the time, particularly regarding notions of nobility and individual roles within family strategies. The lyricism of operatic music became the ideal vehicle to express the era's social transformations
Lorenzo de' Medici and the Art of Magnificence
Like his grandfather Cosimo il Vecchio, Lorenzo de' Medici, known as il Magnifico, is an endless source of fascination and study for historians and art historians alike.The dilemma the Medici family faced throughout the Quattrocento was how to assert their pre-eminence in Florence without unduly offending the city's republican sensibilities.Central to all their enterprises was the mobilization of a vast network of kin, friends, and neighbours; an…
Uncommon Dominion
Myths of Venice
Over the course of several centuries, Venice fashioned and refined a portrait of itself that responded to and exploited historical circumstance. Never conquered and taking its enduring independence as a sign of divine favour, free of civil strife and proud of its internal stability, Venice broadcast the image of itself as the Most Serene Republic, an ideal state whose ruling patriciate were selflessly devoted to the commonweal. All this has come …

Medieval and Renaissance Venice
Housecraft and Statecraft
Housecraft and Statecraft
Unlike modern households, those of late medieval and early modern European societies included many individuals not related by blood or marriage. Prominent among these were domestic servants, members of the lower classes whose duties ranged from managing of the household to raising the children. Within the confines of the household, the powerful and powerless came together in complex and significant ways. In this volume, the author examines the re…

Mad Blood Stirring
In the small Italian town of Udine on the first day of carnival - February 27, 1511 - a crowd of Udinesi and peasants gathered for the festivities, along with more than 1000 tired, hungry militiamen. The wine flowed, looting began, and the bloody rioting that ensued soon spread to the surrounding countryside. By the time it was over, nobles had been slaughtered and their castles looted or destroyed, bodies were dismembered and corpses fed to anim…

Aspects of Patronage in Fifteenth- and Sixteenth-Century Venice
Michael Baxandall's Study Painting and Experience in Fifteenth-Century Italy opens with the useful reminder that a “painting is the deposit of a social relationship,” that is, a relationship between patron and client. When Baxandall and other historians of Renaissance art use the term patronage, they generally do so in a restricted sense to indicate the relationship that existed when an individual or an institution such as a guild, confraternity,…

The Regulation of Domestic Service in Renaissance Venice
This study examines Venetian legislation concerning domestic service from the late thirteenth through the sixteenth century. Through a careful analysis of capitularies issued by the capi di sestieri in 1503 and the censori in 1541, it charts shifting concerns of masters and changing attitudes toward servant keeping. Specifically, during the sixteenth century an aristocratic style of servant keeping with an emphasis on male servants replaced a bou…
