Excerpt from Discorsi Storici e Letterarii di Ugo Foscolo: Tradotti Dalla Lingua Inglese nell'Italiana
Sembra che una cognizione precisa di si memora bili istituzioni, delle circostanze in cui ebbero origine, della corruzione a cui declinarono, debba essere par ticolarmente desiderata e gradita, quando si pensi che la storia di quello stato singolarissimo il quale sorse prima che rovinasse l'impero di Roma, stette tra le barbarie delle invasioni de' settentrionali, e finalmente in estinto ne' nostri tempi, viene a for mare una catena la sola, crediamo, che possa ranno dare l'eur0pa de Romani, quella de' tempi di mezzo e la storia moderna. Egli è come se si prendesse a trattare di un solo sopravvissuto a tante grandi ri voluzioni sovvertitrici, e s'investigassero i costumi e la tempra di un uomo antediluviano che ancora vi vesse.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into Venice's history from the 4th century to its 18th-century demise, exploring how it transformed from a collection of settlements in the Adriatic to an independent maritime republic and commercial powerhouse. The author chronicles the gradual rise of an aristocratic elite, who, over time, solidified their power through cunning political maneuvering, while simultaneously ensuring Venice's independence and thwarting both monarchical and ecclesiastical influence. The book sheds light on the complex interplay between the people and the ruling class, and how the quest for power and preservation of tradition shaped Venice's political landscape. By examining Venice's unique path, the author uncovers lessons in governance and the delicate balance between individual rights and centralized authority. This fascinating study is a must-read for anyone seeking insights into power dynamics and the forces that shaped one of history's most enduring and enigmatic city-states.
