Více o knize

Focusing on the experiences of political exiles, this book examines their significant impact on the political landscape of fifteenth-century Italy. It analyzes how Italian states managed their own exiles and those from rival powers, using Siena, known for its high number of exiles in the 1480s, as a primary case study. The exploration offers new insights into governmental power, the legitimacy of political authority, and the dynamics of political action during this tumultuous period in Italian history.
