Review # 1 was written on 2009-03-22 00:00:00 Cary Rappuhn While informative, this book is severely out of date. I wouldn't recommend it for more than a quick perusal to get the basics. Otherwise, find a newer source.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-14 00:00:00 Richard Lee The History of Italy, which has emerged from the pen of a statesman close to the events he describes, reflects the general attitude of the Renaissance period in history writing with his sceptical approach to the evidence contained and takes the history writing approach of humanist historians preceding himself one step further. For this reason, The History of Italy should be reconsidered as one of the most critical contemporary pieces of the entire Italian history during the period of turmoil and invasion in the early sixteenth century. It is worth to read because Guicciardini’s book draws a magnificent landscape of the Italian Renaissance.
