In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, Italy" exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. Its cultural, economic, and political dominance is utterly astonishing and unique in world history. Viewing the Italy - the many Italies - of that time through the lens of today allows us to gather a fragmented, multi-faceted and seemingly contradictoryhistory into a single unifying narrative that speaks to our current reality as much as it does to a specific historical period.
