During those turbulent years, governments rose and fell with dizzying regularity. Some changes of regime were peaceful; others were more violent. But whenever a new reggimento took power, old social tensions were laid bare and new challenges emerged – any of which could easily threaten its survival. This provoked a variety of responses, both from newly established regimes and from their opponents. Constitutional reforms were proposed and enacted; civic rituals were developed; works of art were commissioned; literary works were penned; and occasionally, aspects of material culture were pressed into service, as well. Comparative in approach and broad in scope, it offers a provocative new view of the diverse political, culture, and economic factors, which ensured the survival (or demise) of regimes – not only in \"major\" polities like Florence, Rome, and Venice, but also in less-well-studied regions like Savoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in cultural, political, and military history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45547093524718,"sku":"9781032057583","price":67.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/culture-and-politics-of-regime-change-in-italy-c-1494-c-1559-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
