A history of civilization in Italy from the Birth of Petrarch to the Death of Titian - 1304 to 1576. The present work aims to give a rounded picture of all phases of human life in the Italy of the Renaissance- from the birth of Petrarch in 1304 to the death of Titian in 1576. The term "Renaissance" will in this book refer only to Italy. The word does not properly apply to such native maturations, rather than exotic rebirths, as took place in France, Spain, England, and the Lowlands in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; and even in Italy the designation lays undue
stress on that revival of classic letters which was of less importance to Italy than the ripening of its economy and culture into their own characteristic forms.

"A gigantic gallery of personages and periods in the 17th century, another cultural panorama from Will and Ariel Durant, part of that installment-opus they call The Story of Civilization.

As the Durants see it, the 17th century was...

We grew weary of this insipid and unaccustomed leisure. To give our day...
