How to order this book


An examination of the Renaissance centred on the feud between Federico da Montefeltro and Sigismondo Pandolfo and their families, which “epitomized the spirit of the condottieri — the entrepreneurs who added a military dimension to the explosion of new ideas at the heart of the Renaissance”.
