Overview
Siete familias, siete soberanos, seis ciudades.
«Un Juego de tronos a la italiana» Il Mattino di Padova
Milán, Florencia, Venecia, Ferrara, Roma, Nápoles.
La Italia del siglo XV es una tierra desgarrada por guerras, intrigas y traiciones, gobernada por señores a veces cautos, pero a la vez sedientos de poder y, en ocasiones, sanguinarios. Esta es la historia de la Italia del Renacimiento, una historia que marcará el futuro de Europa.
En Milán, Filippo Maria, el último Visconti, ante la ausencia de hijos varones, intenta garantizar su legado casando a su pequeña hija con Francesco Sforza, un prometedor hombre de armas. Mientras tanto, trata de sobornar al conde de Carmagnola para atacar a los Condulmer, los patricios de Venecia. Estos, repelen el ataque y logran el ansiado trono de Roma a través del papa Eugenio IV, a pesar de la oposición frontal de la familia Colonna. El apoyo de los Mecici, el doble juego de los Saboya, el enfrentamiento entre angevinos y aragoneses en el sur en una guerra cada día más descarnada y el avance de España y Francia en el tablero de tratados y alianzas del continente, marcan a siete dinastías dispuestas a todo por perpetuar a los suyos en el poder.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Seven families, seven monarchs, seven cities.
“An Italian Game of thrones.” —Il Mattino di Padova
Milan, Florence, Venice, Ferrara, Rome, Naples.
Italy in the fifteenth century is a land torn by war, intrigue, and betrayal, governed by sometimes cautious lords, but also thirsty for power and, occasionally, for blood. This is the story of the Italian Renaissance, a time that will mark the future of Europe.
In Milan, Filippo Maria, the last Visconti, after having had no sons, attempts to secure his legacy by marrying his young daughter to Francesco Sforza, a promising man of arms. Meanwhile, he tries to bribe the Count of Carmagnola into attacking the Condulmer, the Venice patricians. The Venetians repel the attack and gain the coveted Roman throne through Pope Eugene IV, regardless of the straightforward opposition from the Colonna family. The support of the Medici, the double-dealings of the Saboya, the confrontations between the Angevin and the Aragonese in the South, in a war that becomes more brutal each day, and Spain’s and France’s progression on the continent’s board of treaties and alliances set the stage for seven dynasties willing to do anything to keep their own people in power.
