Story
Rom befindet sich auf dem Gipfel der Hochrenaissance, als am 6. Mai 1527 ein Heer Kaiser Karls V. die Mauern der Ewigen Stadt erstürmt und in der Folgezeit ein regelrechtes Terrorregiment am Tiber errichtet - Sacco di Roma. Vorangegangen war eine Diplomatie der Illusionen und der Selbstüberschätzung Papst Clemens' VII, der nach der Einnahme Roms monatelang in der Engelsburg als Gefangener in seiner eigenen Hauptstadt ausharren muss.

Story
This is a performance of the very first English translation of Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince. This translation, published by Edward Dacres, first appeared in 1640. Machiavelli's original Italian edition was printed in 1532, five years after his death. Due to the evil associated with Machiavelli's book, it took 108 years for The Prince to be published in the English language.

Story
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known across the world simply by the name Raphael, stands as one of the main pillars of the High Renaissance, an iconic example of the balance between spirituality and humanistic inquiry that characterized the time period. Although he lived just 37 years, his career produced an amazingly rich output, and he completed more works than many artists do over careers spanning twice the length.

Story
Of course part of what made Galileo such a monumental figure was the fact that he was ahead of his time and that he mostly refused to conform to the accepted dogmas of contemporary society. As he once put it, "Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes - I mean the universe - but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols, in which it is written."

Story
It's safe to say there have been countless prophets and seers throughout history, but only one Nostradamus (1503-1566). Nostradamus has become a pop-culture fixture even among those who find nothing of note in his work. He is a cult figure among those who pore through his prophecies to look for proof that he foresaw major world events centuries ahead of time.

Story
In historian Tabitha Stanmore’s beguiling account, we meet lovelorn widows, dissolute nobles, selfless healers, and renegade monks. We listen in on Queen Elizabeth I’s astrology readings and track treasure hunters trying to unearth buried gold without upsetting the fairies that guard it. Much like us, premodern people lived in a bewildering world, buffeted by forces beyond their control. As Stanmore reveals, their faith in magic has much to teach about how to accommodate the irrational in our allegedly enlightened lives today.

Story
In 1494, there were five sovereign regional powers in Italy: Milan, Venice, Florence, the Papal States and Naples. In 1536, only one remained: Venice. These decades of conflict precipitated great anxiety among Western thinkers, and Italians responded to the fragmentation, forevermore, of Latin Christendom, the end of self-governance for Italians, and the beginning of the early modern era in a myriad of ways. They were always heavily influenced by the lived experience of warfare between large Christian armies on the peninsula.

Doba pobělohorská - úpadek, nebo rozkvět společnosti? Přehledně a čtivě zpracovaný přehled českých dějin v 17. a první polovině 18. století se snaží o vyvážený pohled na pobělohorskou dobu, schematicky nazývanou dobou temna. Bitva na Bílé hoře je symbolem potupné porážky, po níž následovala násilná rekatolizace, utužení moci Habsburků v českých zemích a emigrace elit.

Rescatamos los pensamientos que Francesco Guicciardini, el gran padre de la historiografía moderna, escribió bajo el título de Ricordi. Estas notas aforísticas, que fue reuniendo en distintos momentos de su vida y en diversos períodos de su actividad como diplomático, permanecieron inéditas hasta 1857. Vecino de Maquiavelo, catorce años mayor que él, en la República de Florencia, su pragmatismo sujeto a las circunstancias del momento lo oponían en cierto modo al autor de El príncipe.

Simonetta Vespucci war die Geliebte Giuliano de Medicis und Muse Botticellis. Als Venus strahlte die Schönheit im Mittelpunkt seines Meisterwerkes "Primavera". Als Mäzene von Künstlern wie Botticelli oder Michelangelo erwerben sich die Medici ihren guten Ruf. Aber die Ästheten vom Arno sind zugleich Meister einer diskreten Staatspolitik. Ohne ein politisches Amt avanciert Cosimo der Alte zum heimlichen Herrscher von Florenz, der wie Don Corleone im Film "Der Pate" alle Fäden in seiner Hand hält. Im 16. Jahrhundert steigen die Medici zu Herzögen auf.

Der Aufstieg der Familie Medici in Florenz und ihre Verflochtenheit mit der Person des Dominikanermönches Girolamo Savonarola, der zum Ende des 15. Jahrhundert großen Einfluss gewinnen konnte durch seinen Populismus und seine "politische Netzwerkarbeit". Savonarola war der Erste in einer Reihe von Reformatoren, die die katholische Kirche damals herausforderten.
