Trade Review
"A remarkable book that wonderfully vivifies an understudied era in the history of Rome.... This book will engage anyone interested in early modern cities, the relationship between religion and daily life, and the history of the city of Rome." - Journal of Modern History "An engaging account of Tosca's Rome.... Nicassio provides a fluent introduction to her subject." - History Today "Meticulously researched, drawing on a host of original manuscripts, memoirs, personal letters, and secondary sources, enabling Nicassio to bring her story to life." - History"
