Story
Ever since Machiavelli penned The Prince, his 1513 treatise on princely rule and the politics of reality, a work that infamously advises rulers to abandon virtue and morality when necessary, his name has been synonymous with deceit, duplicity, and amoral pragmatism. Since then a sinister reputation has posthumously plagued the controversial Florentine. But is this depiction of Machiavelli as wicked and immoral accurate?

Story
The Renaissance spawned the use of the label "Renaissance man" to describe a person who is extremely talented in multiple fields, and no discussion of the Renaissance is complete without the original Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci. Indeed, if 100 people are asked to describe Leonardo in one word, they might give 100 answers.

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
Modern beer has little in common with the drink that carried that name through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Looking at a time when beer was often a nutritional necessity, was sometimes used as medicine, could be flavored with everything from the bark of fir trees to thyme and fresh eggs, and was consumed by men, women, and children alike, Beer in the Middle Ages and Renaissance presents an extraordinarily detailed history of the business, art, and governance of brewing.

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.

Story
The renaissance was a time for change, renewal, rebirth. That’s what we were taught in school, but few of us really understand the complexities of the era. Generations of people don’t understand the bold moves that were made. The risks that were taken by ordinary people who created exceptional art, music, movements, and change are like none the world has yet seen.

Story
È la fine del settembre 1545 quando Tiziano arriva a Roma. La lascerà un anno più tardi, e per allora la città non sarà più la stessa e anche il Rinascimento avrà perso il suo splendore. Ma per il momento, la Roma di cui racconta Antonio Forcellino è davvero la Città Eterna: misteriosa, avvolgente e sospesa nel tempo, luogo nevralgico di potere, di gelosie private e di pubblici intrighi. La percorrono personaggi formidabili: ambigui uomini di Chiesa come monsignor Della Casa, splendidi mecenati come Paolo III, donne dalla bellezza leggendaria come Giulia Farnese.

The Renaissance was only a short period in European history, but it was the revolution needed to move from the Middle Ages to the modern world. It was full of new philosophies and art, new architecture and inventions, and new governments and churches. In a short span of time, the Europeans found themselves creating, acting, and living in completely new ways. People now had access to new ideas, and Europe would never be the same again.

Do you know the whole story of the House of Borgia—from their rise from obscurity to the highest echelons of European society? The family produced two popes and a saint, but they are more known for stories of murder, debauchery, and incest. What is accurate, and what is just slander? Were the Borgias worse than any other powerful family of the time? Was Rodrigo Borgia, who became Pope Alexander VI, a monster? Was his son Cesare a psychopath? Was his daughter Lucrezia a murderous temptress?

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".

Story
When we think of the Renaissance, we often think of paintings. And indeed, many painters and sculptors were part of the artistic transformation the Renaissance caused. But there was more. The Renaissance basically formed a period of collective enlightenment and freedoms that put an end to certain tyrannies and false notions from the Middle Ages. Advocates of a "long Renaissance" might put its start in the 14th century and its end in the 17th century. Let’s take a look at what the extensive time period of the Renaissance provided, and what it leaves us with today.
