| Summary | "Storia delle repubbliche italiane dei secoli di mezzo, v. 06 (of 16)" by J.C.L. Simond Sismondi is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book delves into the political climate and societal conditions of 14th century Italy, focusing on the rise and fall of various Italian republics amidst turmoil, including famines, plagues, and political strife. Sismondi’s work offers insights into the moral decay of political leadership and the impact of warfare on the populace. The opening of the volume covers a period plagued by severe famine and the devastating outbreak of the Black Death. Through an examination of events from 1347 to 1350, Sismondi describes how these calamities intensified existing political tensions, particularly in cities like Pisa, where factions arose amidst the chaos. He explores the consequences of the political intrigue surrounding the power struggles among small princes and the moral corruption that infiltrated the ruling classes, while also detailing how the suffering populace grappled with widespread mortality and deprivation. This detailed and dramatic introduction sets the stage for an extensive exploration of Italy's Republican history during periods of great challenge and transformation.
