Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Molto tempo fa, l Italia era divisa in molti piccoli stati, e qualcosa di nuovo cominciò ad accadere lì. I governanti formavano le loro città come gli artisti formano un quadro. Le persone cominciarono a firmare il loro lavoro, a scrivere le storie della loro vita e a voler essere note per chi erano. Burckhardt, uno storico attento della Svizzera, racconta come arte, studio, maniere e perfino feste crebbero da questo cambiamento. Molto di ciò che chiamiamo vita moderna, dice, inizia qui.
