No one has demonstrated sprezzatura, or the art of effortless mastery, quite like the Italians. From the rise of the Roman calendar and the birth of the first university to the development of modern political science by Niccolo Machiavelli and the creation of the modern orchestra by Claudio Monteverdi, Sprezzatura chronicles fifty great Italian cultural achievements in a series of witty, erudite, and information-packed essays. |
