La Repubblica dei Segretari. Potere e comunicazione nell'Italia d'Antico regime

[Autom. eng. transl.] Along a chronological span extending from 1520 to 1630, the volume follows the biographical and intellectual paths of three epistolographical secretaries, Alberto Bissa from Piacenza (ca. 1520-post 1594), Bartolomeo Zucchi from Monza (ca. 1560-1630) and Pistoia. Bonifacio Vannozzi (1549-1621), and a gentleman who wrote as a secretary, the Alexandrian Annibale Guasco (1540-1619). Their powerful printed letters, for over forty volumes of letters, represent the guide of a journey within the composite Italian and European geopolitical framework of the time and allow you to discover a place unpublished today: the Republic of the Secretaries. Thus an impressive network of social, political, cultural and religious relations emerges, almost an ancient social network, which reveals the complex dynamics between power and communication of which the secretaries of the Old Regime were protagonists.
