More about the book

The Udine carnival massacre of 1511 serves as a backdrop for a gripping exploration of social upheaval in Renaissance Italy. This account delves into the brutal events where nobles were killed, their properties ravaged, and the aftermath of dismemberment and desecration. It examines the historical conflicts and social structures that led to this revolt, alongside the evolving mindset of revenge that emerged from it. The narrative connects these historical events to their influence on the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet.
