THE Ferrarese school of painting arose shortly after the middle of the fifteenth century, when that mildest and most genial of Renaissance despots, Borso d'Este, was ruling Ferrara as vicar of the Church with the title of Marquis, and Modena, together with Reggio, as Duke under the Holy Roman Empire.

The author explains why the cradle of western civilization, which has assimilated so many barbarians in its time, endured the tyrant Mussolini and a sack worse than any in its past. He shows how the peasantry and the clergy were at once actors and pawns in the drama of Italy's history, and how the defects in her society led to the internal strife she knows today.
