Echoes of a Distant Republic, Italian Perspectives on the American and French Revolutions
In Echoes of a Distant Republic, Anna Vincenzi explores the evolving meaning of “revolution” in the eighteenth century by surveying the reactions in Italy to the upheavals in America and later France. Drawing on a wide range of sources—from periodicals and gazettes to diplomatic correspondence, ecclesiastical documents, and private letters—Vincenzi reveals how observers in Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples made sense of events across the Atlantic from the 1770s to the 1790s.
