Biography of Freedom is a far-reaching academic project that presents the forms of European culture from the perspective of political power and individual freedom. This first volume focuses on the Renaissance, an exciting era for literature and fine arts, with a timeless canon of beauty that we contemplate with nostalgia. The author proposes a reading of political thought in its historical context, highlighting the great personalities who act in 16th-century Europe. The State as a work of art, the concept of sovereignty, the contrast between monarchies and republics, and the Protestant Reformation that questions the religious unity of a convulsed Europe are explored. Accompanied by Burkhardt, Huizinga, and other scholars, the reader is immersed in the spirit of the age, typical of the founding time of the modern mentality.
