Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the plight of children in late Italian Renaissance cities, where nearly half were under fifteen. It delves into the harsh realities of grinding poverty and unstable family structures that led to abandonment and orphanhood. Amidst a society where political leaders positioned themselves as paternal figures, these vulnerable children posed both a significant challenge and a unique opportunity for societal change and reform.
