This is the Italian version of God and Money, a small classic on the development of the Florentine Renaissance. During the Dark Ages, death-and-after-life-oriented Christianity saved Europe. But after 1000 AD this philosophy was inexorably pushed aside by commerce and money. The Black Death (1348/9) and the Great Schism (1378-1417) are the catalysts for the Renaissance, which is seen as the secular side of the changes which lead to the Reformation.
