Seven essays reconstruct the foreign policy and diplomacy of the major Italian states in the early modern period. Using a range of models, they discuss such topics diplomacy and government in 15th-century Florence and Venice, Vatican diplomacy, economic and social aspects of the crisis of Venetian diplomacy in the 17th and 18th centuries, Mantua and Modena as small states, and Savoyard diplomacy in the 18th century. No mention is made of an Italian original. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
