{"product_id":"imperial-city-susan-vandiver-nicassio-9780226579733","title":"Imperial City: Rome Under Napoleon","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1798, the armies of the French Revolution tried to transform Rome from the capital of the Papal States to a Jacobin Republic. For the next two decades, Rome was the subject of power struggles between the forces of the Empire and the Papacy, while Romans endured the unsuccessful efforts of Napoleon's best and brightest to pull the ancient city into the modern world. Against this historical backdrop, Nicassio weaves together an absorbing social, cultural, and political history of Rome and its people. Based on primary sources and incorporating two centuries of Italian, French, and international research, her work reveals what life was like for Romans in the age of Napoleon.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A remarkable book that wonderfully vivifies an understudied era in the history of Rome. . . .
