If you were born in 1480 in Italy, what would you have witnessed if you were to live for 80 years? This book is the second of a series of historical novels of very fine quality - two novels in every book - about the time between 1480 and 1560 in different parts of the world, giving a panoramic view of society and human life. We started with India (A01) and continue now with Italy … Two major Italian cities are introduced here on the verge of the 16th century. The public and social life of Florence was dominated by the powerful personality of a Dominican Friar, named Girolamo Savonarola. Savonarola criticized relentlessly the worldliness and vicious habits of the clergy. He insisted on the duty of Christian men and women not to hide in easy life when wrong was triumphing in public. He urged and taught them not to spend their wealth in outward pomp and riches when their fellow-citizens were suffering from want and sickness. On the other side, Savonarola was a bitter enemy to freethinkers, philosophers and Renaissance. And Savonarola's mightiest enemy was Pope Alexander VI … Rodrigo Borgia, or Pope Alexander VI, ruled at the same time in Rome. Alexander VI had four children by a long time mistress, one of many. He had a passion for his children and endowed them with honours and wealth at the church's and his neighbours' expense. The citizens of Rome lived in unspeakable horrors in the midst of intrigues, murder, tortures in subterranean dungeons. No one's life was safe. Alexander VI indulged in chase, stage plays, and orgies. He had many enemies amongst the nobles of Italy for wilfully excommunicating them and confiscating their land. But Alexander's subtlest enemy was his son, Cesare Borgia ….
