The Children of Renaissance Florence (Power and Dependence in Renaissance Florence, Vol 1)

The Children of Renaissance Florence - Power and Dependence in Renaissance Florence - Volume 1 - by Richard C. Trexler -- This volume brings together four studies of Florentine youth. The first opens the door to the city's great foundling home of the Innocenti, where thousands of children lived and died. The second Studies infanticide in this outwardly brilliand and carefree town. The third examines the changing lives of adolescents during the Renaissance, and the last essay, appearing for the first time in English, looks into the political games and plots of Florence's troublesome young men.
