Maritime power and commerce shape Venice; banking, civic rivalry and artistic patronage transform Florence; and the legacy of empire and the papacy gives Rome its extraordinary layers of history. Hibbert follows the rulers, artists, families and ordinary inhabitants whose ambitions helped make each city distinctive. Across the three volumes, political narrative and cultural history illuminate the buildings and works of art that remain, making the collection both an exploration of Italy's past and a companion to its great cities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55593558540627,"sku":"2026_09_39_23384","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/10_cf99167d-91cd-4c4f-b557-8a1422dd416e.jpg?v=1792847357","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/italian-cities-3v-christopher-hibbert-folio-society-2000-vgc","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
