This volume offers a detailed narration of significant events in Italian history, focusing particularly on the political intrigue and wars associated with the Papal States and the prominent figures involved during this turbulent period. The text delves into the complex relationships between papal authority, regional dukes, and the impact of foreign powers in Italy. At the start of this volume, the narrative introduces the political landscape of early modern Italy, detailing the role of the papacy and its significant influence on Italian territories such as Ferrara and Urbino. It discusses the elective nature of the papal office and the controversial political maneuvering in the conclaves that followed a pope's death. Through character-driven anecdotes and historical examples, Cantù presents the interplay between powerful families, like the Barberinis and the Farneses, and the Catholic Church, revealing the tensions and conflicts that arose during this era, including the infamous War of Castro. This opening portion sets the stage for an exploration of how ecclesiastical and secular powers contended for dominance in Italy.
