A young visionary and the best political speaker of his time, Cola promised Rome a return to its former greatness. Ronald G. Musto's vivid biography of this charismatic leader-whose exploits have enlivened the work of poets, composers, and dramatists, as well as historians-peels away centuries of interpretation to reveal the realities of fourteenth-century Italy and to offer a comprehensive account of Cola's rise and fall. A man of modest origins, Cola gained a reputation as a talented professional with an unparalleled knowledge of Rome's classical remains. After earning the respect and friendship of Petrarch and the sponsorship of Pope Clement VI, Cola won the affections and loyalties of all classes of Romans. His buono stato established the reputation of Rome as the heralded New Jerusalem of the Apocalypse and quickly made the city a potent diplomatic and religious center that challenged the authority-and power-of both pope and emperor. At the height of Cola's rule, a conspiracy of pope and barons forced him to flee the city and live for years as a fugitive until he was betrayed and taken to Avignon to stand trial as a heretic. Musto relates the dramatic story of Cola's subsequent exoneration and return to central Italy as an agent of the new pope. But only weeks after he reestablished his government, he was slain by the Romans atop the Capitoline hill. In his exploration, Musto examines every known document pertaining to Cola's life, including papal, private, and diplomatic correspondence rarely used by earlier historians. With his intimate knowledge of historical Rome-its streets and ruins, its churches and palaces, from the busy Tiber riverfront to the lost splendor of the Capitoline-he brings a cinematic flair to this fascinating historical narrative. 606 $aRevolutionaries$zItaly$zRome$vBiography 607 $aRome (Italy)$xHistory$y476-1420 607 $aRome (Italy)$vBiography 610 $aassassination. 610 $abarons. 610 $abiography. 610 $abuono stato. 610 $acapitoline. 610 $acatholic church. 610 $acentral italy. 610 $achristianity. 610 $acola di rienzo. 610 $acorrespondence. 610 $acoup. 610 $acultural history. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $adocumentary history. 610 $aemperor. 610 $afall of rome. 610 $afugitive. 610 $agovernment. 610 $aitalian history. 610 $aitaly. 610 $amedieval. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aorator. 610 $apapacy. 610 $apetrarch. 610 $apolitical exile. 610 $apolitical history. 610 $apolitical prisoner. 610 $apoliticians. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apope clement vi. 610 $apope. 610 $arebellion. 610 $areligion. 610 $aresistance. 610 $arevolution. 610 $aroman empire. 610 $aroman history. 610 $aroman leaders. 610 $aromans. 610 $arome. 610 $atiber. 615 0$aRevolutionaries 676 $a945/.63205/092 676 $aB 700 $aMusto$b Ronald G$0781606 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780446903321 996 $aApocalypse in Rome$91733288 997 $aUNINA
