Culture e libertà. Studi di storia in onore di Roberto Vivarelli

Roberto Vivarelli, besides being an eminent exponent of Italian historical studies in the last fifty years, has been an influential teacher of various generations of students, first at the Universities of Siena and Florence and then at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa.
Colleagues, friends and students have wanted, with this volume, to pay homage to his personality, to the work he has done and to the lesson in teaching method they have gained, applying it to fields sometimes close sometimes distant from Vivarelli's activity.
A collection of essays has ensued that, over and above the specific contributions, show coherent unity on the plan of systematic approach and originality of critical results.
