** Topic for Summer 2015: The Rise and Decline of the Italian City-State. This course examines the reasons why Italian city-states succeeded politically, economically, and militarily in the renaissance. In the 1400s, Florence and its neighbors became centers of wealth, power, and art. Yet by the 1600s, the Italian city-states had been pushed to the margins. We will explore competing arguments regarding their relative success and then relative failure. Field trips to Fiesole, Siena, Pisa, and Venice are planned.
