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.Cambridge studies in Italian history and culture.ExilesItalyHistoryExilesGovernment policyItalyHistoryItalyHistory15th centuryExilesHistory.ExilesGovernment policyHistory.325/.21/094509024Shaw Christine(Italian Renaissance historian),500264UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910780277503321Politics of exile in Renaissance Italy744468UNINA
