Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the city of Rome during the Enlightenment, this scholarly work offers an in-depth analysis of its material and institutional structures, such as demographics and economy, alongside its cultural and artistic life. Professor Gross employs extensive archival research and contemporary engravings to create a comprehensive portrait of the papal capital. He argues that the decline of Counter-Reformation fervor led to significant dissonance in the city's political, social, and cultural spheres, making this an essential resource for understanding Rome's unique historical context.
