Condition: NUOVO. Roma, Salerno cm.13x20, pp.206, brossura con copertina figurata. Collana Aculei,32. Collana diretta da Alessandro Barbero. Le spedizioni che tra Cinque e Seicento presero via in Ungheria contro i Turchi costarono la vita a Giovan Francesco Aldobrandini, nipote di papa Clemente VIII. Tre campagne militari a sostegno dell'imperatore Rodolfo II d'Asburgo porteranno gli eserciti pontifici dalla gloria alla ritirata tra la neve. L'attenzione dell'autore, che ha riconsiderato l'intera vicenda alla luce di nuovi dati emersi tra le fonti vaticane, si ferma alle poche operazioni condotte sul campo: la vittoriosa presa di Strigonia nel 1595; l'inconcludente assedio di Giavarino del 1597; la durissima campagna sotto Canisa nel 1601. Per il papa e la sua segreteria prendeva forma l'antico sogno crociato ma con nuovi obiettivi: non più quello, irraggiungibile, di riconquistare Gerusalemme, ma quello di fermare l'avanzata turca e contrattaccare puntando direttamente a Costantinopoli, capitale dell'impero del Sultano dal 1453. Illustrazioni di Andrea Bayer.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Margaret, Duchess of Parma (1522-1586), an extraordinarily fascinating figure, has slipped through the cracks of history until recently. As the illegitimate daughter of Charles V, she had a rather unusual start in life. In time, however, Margaret became one of the most powerful women in Italy, attracting a lot of attention. In 1559, she was appointed governor-general of the Netherlands. She was also a keen art lover and patron of the arts. This book takes a closer look at the life of Margaret of Parma and the sumptuous court where she lived as a woman-in-power, with all the pomp and circumstance that involved, via fashion, art, music, festivities and the elite pursuit of hunting. It also examines the dangerous political atmosphere of the Low Countries at the time, with the Iconoclasm, the Dutch Revolt, the arrival of the Duke of Alba and the Eighty Years' War. The beautiful drawings from the Brussels Album (1555-56) bring Margaret's wondrous world to life in an exceptional way. As do more than a hundred artworks - portraits, paintings and luxury objects - from the sixteenth century. Authors from different disciplines look at every aspect of Margaret's life and times, to ensure that the emperor's daughter finally occupies her rightful place in history.…
