Topic: Condottiero

	Condottieri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries Italian city-states were becoming enriched by their trade with the Orient.
		From the 15th century onward the companies' leaders were mainly Italian: they were nobles who for some reason had not been able to succeed in their lands and had therefore chosen the fighting life.
		In that century, the most famous condottiero was Giovanni dalle Bande Nere from Forlì, son of Caterina Sforza.

	Asti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Situation changed in the early 16th century, during the wars between Charles V and Francis I of France.
		In 1526 it was besieged in vain by Charles' condottiero Fabrizio Maramaldo.
		Three years later, indeed, the Treaty of Cambrai assigned Asti to the German emperor, who in turn gave it to the viceroy of Naples Charles de Lannoy.

		One of the reasons encouraging me to leave this project in the position given to it by Serlio is its essential planimetric character as a logical development of the preceding project, the only variants being brought in because of its function as a fortified villa for a 'Gentleman Condottiero'.
		Here we see Serlio as a 'professional', modest to a remarkable degree, but conscious of both the historico-political reality and the culture of his time, and above all able to amplify his architectural abilities with a broad experience of life.
		In this portrait of the condottiero it appears that Serlio has imbibed deeply the historico-political literature which culminates in Machiavelli, in addition to his personal experience when young spent in the Emilia, the Romagna and the Marches at the time of the Bentivoglios, the Montefeltros and Cesare Borgia.

	All Empires History Forum: Cesare Borgia
		Cesare was the Papal tool as military commander in the expansion of the Romagna around 1500, and, although he was a reasonably competent tactician, he found himself squeezed between the far greater powers of France and Spain during the Italian Wars.....No strategist and politician.
		As a condottiero, he was well down the list of star performers.
		While you, Pikeshoot, say that Cesare wasn't any great condottiero, he was indeed a great statesman and commander, or at least he is regarded as such by many, always ignoring the moral issues, of course.

		Each member of the Company has the right to propose to the Masters the insertion of new entries to the common WEB page, and/or the addition of sections dedicated to new activities.
		In case of contrast between the proponent and the Masters, or of disagreement between the Masters, the Condottiero will take the final and unappealable decision.
		They cover the appointment until they resign, or until more than 2/3 (for the Condottiero) or 1/2 (for the Masters) of the Company members propose their substitution with a common member.

		After a typically rhetorical opening (a late addition to the Dantesque and Petrarchan tradition of ‘laments’ and ‘invective’ against an Italy slave to its factions), we have the portrait of the ‘condottiero’.
		Whilst this figure is a little out of date for Italy, referring as it does to a figure typical of Serlio’s youth at the turn of the 16
		Indeed such tone is magnified by the commentary’s imitation of the structure of The Prince with the parallel analysis of the virtues and vices of the condottiero and his relations with the society around him.

	15 MACCHIAVELLI’S LEGATION
		Cesare, however, had been informed of it some time before at Imola, where he was awaiting the French lances that should enable him to raid the Bolognese and drive out the Bentivogli.
		His great reputation as a condottiero, the fame of his wealth and his notorious liberality, stood him now in excellent stead.
		One of the first to arrive was Gasparo Sanseverino, known as Fracassa, a condottiero of great renown, who had been in the Pontifical service since the election of Pope Alexander.

		He was killed at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066 when his army was defeated by an English army commanded by King Harold Godwinson.
		In Italy, the condottiero was a military chief offering his troops, the condottieri, to city-states.
		During the ages of the Taifa kingdoms of the Iberian peninsula, Christian knights like El Cid could fight for some Muslim ruler against his Christian or Muslim enemies.

		Those that like literature in addition to history, would find pleasure in my finding of a partial translation by William Dean Howells from "Il Conte Carmagnola" by Alessandro Manzoni.
		A theatrical tragedy whose inclusion here makes it worth every ducat we spent on this condottiero.
		I have ruthlessly edited (cut) the small parts that Howells wrote in his book on modern italian poets to make it adequate for a post.
