From the late Middle Ages, the independent Italian city-states were taken over by powerful families who installed themselves as dynastic rulers. Inspired by the humanists, the princes of 15th- and 16th-century Italy immersed themselves in the culture of antiquity, commissioning palaces, villas and churches inspired by the architecture of ancient Rome, and offering patronage to artists and writers. Many of these princes were related by blood or marriage, creating a web of alliances that held society together but whose tensions sometimes threatened to tear it apart; thus were their lives dominated as much by the waging of war as the nurture of the artistic talent. In a narrative that is as rigorous and closely researched as it is accessible and informative, Mary Hollingsworth sets the princes' aesthetic achievements in the context of the volatile, ever-shifting politics of a tumultuous period of history. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Princes|zItaly|xHistory|y16th century. 650 0 Princes|zItaly|xHistory|yTo 1500. 650 0 Renaissance|zItaly. 651 0 Italy|xHistory|y1268-1492. 651 0 Italy|xHistory|y1492-1559. 651 0 Italy|xKings and rulers. 700 1 Cass, Karen,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14269681?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ wfh_9781800242579_180.jpeg
