«Mi chiamo Boldrino da Panicale, siamo in cerca di giovani valorosi da aggregare. C'è da combattere, rischiare la pelle ma divertirsi e guadagnare parecchio denaro, avere a che fare con molte donne. Tu mi sembri un tipo in gamba, quanti anni hai?» Siamo nel maggio del 1385, a Cotignola, in Romagna. Uno dei più spietati capitani di ventura che in quegli anni circolasse in Italia sceglie di sostare con la sua truppa su un incolto terreno a pascolo, poco distante da una cascina. A rispondergli, eccitato e disorientato, è il non ancora sedicenne Giacomo Attendolo, per tutti Giacomuzzo, anzi Muzio. Fantasticando su un futuro fatto di battaglie, soldi e conquiste, il giovane contadino accetta la proposta di ingaggio. Come poteva immaginare che con quella sua decisione stava, di fatto, dando origine a una delle più celebri dinastie del Rinascimento? Sì, perché Muzio Attendolo - soprannominato «Sforza» per la sua prestanza fisica - dopo essersi messo al servizio dei Visconti e di città come Perugia e Firenze, avrà una vita avventurosa, mogli, amanti e figli, tra cui Francesco, il primogenito, che nel 1450 diventerà signore di Milano. Restando fedele alle date, ai luoghi e ai fatti storici, ma con scrittura gustosa nei dettagli e felicemente narrativa, Carlo Maria Lomartire ci racconta non solo le vicende umane e sentimentali che ruotano intorno ai principali protagonisti della famiglia Sforza ma anche un'intera epoca, piena di rivolgimenti politici e di trasformazioni sociali: sta per concludersi la guerra dei Cent'anni, i Comuni e l'età medievale lasciano spazio alle Signorie, a Roma papa Pio II lancia la crociata contro i Turchi, la pace di Lodi garantisce una tregua tra gli Stati della penisola. Intraprendente e ambizioso, amico di Cosimo de' Medici, Francesco Sforza farà di Milano una città dinamica e moderna, costruendo, sulle macerie di quello visconteo raso al suolo dai milanesi, il castello di Porta Giovia (l'attuale Castello Sforzesco) nonché il più grande ospedale pubblico d'Europa, la Ca' Granda. Al suo fianco la moglie, Bianca Maria Visconti, donna volitiva e intelligente, che avrà un ruolo tutt'altro che marginale nella gestione delle alleanze politiche del Ducato. Se è vero, come ha scritto qualcuno, che «la storia è sempre contemporanea», nelle appassionate e turbolente vicende degli Sforza, nelle spietate lotte tra fazioni, negli intrighi di corte come nelle gesta eroiche degli uomini e delle donne descritte in queste pagine, il lettore potrà ritrovare non poche delle caratteristiche, delle grandezze e delle miserie, dei pregi e dei difetti dell'Italia di oggi: allora come adesso magnifica e cinica, geniale e crudele.

The poet-king without a throne appears here in an entirely new light. In The Politics of Culture in Quattrocento Europe: René of Anjou in Italy, Oren Margolis explores how this French prince and exiled king of Naples (1409-1480) engaged his Italian network in a programme of cultural politics conducted with an eye towards a return to power in the peninsula. Built on a series of original interpretations of humanistic and artistic material (chiefly Latin orations and illuminated manuscripts of classical texts), this is also a case study for a 'diplomatic approach' to culture. It recasts its source base as a form of high-level communication for a hyper-literate elite of those who could read the works created by humanist and artistic agents for their constituent parts: the potent words or phrases and relevant classical allusions; the channels through which a given work was commissioned or transmitted; and then the nature of the network gathered around a political agenda. This is a volume for all those interested in the politics and culture of later medieval Europe and Renaissance Italy: the kings of France and dukes of Burgundy, the Medici, the Sforza, the Venetians, and their armies, ambassadors, and adversaries all appear here; so do Giovanni Bellini, Andrea Mantegna, Guarino of Verona, and their respective intellectual and artistic circles. Emerging from it is a challenge to conventional interpretations of the politics of humanism, and a new vision of the Quattrocento: a century in which the Italian Renaissance began its takeover of Europe, but in which Renaissance culture was itself shaped by its European political, social, and diplomatic context.

Ambitious, extravagant, progressive, and sexually notorious, Galeazzo Maria Sforza inherited the ducal throne of Milan in 1466, at the age of twenty-two. Although his reign ended tragically only ten years later, the young prince's court was a dynamic community where arts, policy making, and the panoply of state were integrated with the rhythms and preoccupations of daily life. Gregory Lubkin explores this vital but overlooked center of power, allowing the members of the Milanese court to speak for themselves and showing how dramatically Milan and its ruler exemplified the political, cultural, religious, and economic aspirations of Renaissance Italy.

Political exiles were a prominent feature of political life in Renaissance Italy, often a source of intense concern to the states from which they were banished, and a ready instrument for governments wishing to intervene in the affairs of their rivals and enemies. This book, first published in 2000, provides a systematic analysis of the role of exiles in the political life of fifteenth-century Italy. The main focus is on the experiences and reactions of the exiles, and on how Italian states dealt with their own exiles and those of other powers. Siena, notorious in the 1480s for the numbers of her citizens in exile, is used as the model with which other cities are compared. Such a detailed study of the phenomenon of exile also provides alternative perspectives on the nature and power of governments in fifteenth-century Italy, and on ideas about the legitimacy of political authority and political action.
