| Summary | "Storia delle repubbliche italiane dei secoli di mezzo, v. 16 (di 16)" by Jean-Charles-Léonard de Sismondi is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume is the final part of a comprehensive exploration of the Italian republics during the Middle Ages, with a focus on their political struggles and military conflicts. The narrative centers on the defense of the Florentine Republic during the siege by the Prince of Orange, detailing the efforts of notable figures such as Francesco Ferrucci and the citizens of Florence to preserve their freedom against overwhelming odds. The opening of this volume vividly depicts the dire situation faced by the Florentine Republic in 1529-1530 as it prepares for an assault by the formidable forces of the Prince of Orange. While the surrounding Italian states succumb to foreign powers and internal strife, Florence stands resolute, determined to defend its liberty. The text introduces the formation of various militia units by the citizens, the selection of military leaders, and the intricate strategies devised to bolster the city's defenses. As tensions rise, the narrative captures the fervor and complexity of political maneuvering, culminating in an examination of betrayal, loyalty, and the spirit of resistance inherent in the people of Florence.
