Sinossi
Renaissance Venice had a convent on almost every corner, and nuns loomed large in the city's daily life. Far from being places of religious devotion, the convents were often little more than dumping-grounds for unmarried women from the upper ranks of Venetian society. Supported by their private incomes, the nuns ate, dressed and behaved as gentlewomen. They followed the latest fashions in hairstyles and footwear, kept lap-dogs, gave parties for their relatives, and schemed to influence the running of the city's affairs. In VIRGINS OF VENICE, Mary Laven creates a fascinating portrait of their hidden world.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Illustrated (illustratore). A portrait of 16th and 17th century Italian convent life, set in the vibrant culture of late Renaissance Venice. Early 16th century Venice had 50 convents and about 3000 nuns. Far from being places of religious devotion, the convents were often little more than dumping-grounds for unmarried women fron the upper ranks of Venetian society. Often entering a convent at seven years old, these young women remained emotionally and socially attached to their families and to their way of life outside the convent. Supported by their private incomes, the nuns ate, dressed and behaved as gentlewomen. In contravention of their vows they followed the latest fashions in hair-styles and footwear, kept lap-dogs and threw parties for their relations. But in the 16th and 17th centuries the counter reformation was to change all that. Threatened by the advance of protestantism, the Catholic Church set about reforming its own institutions. A new state magistracy rapidly turned its attentions to policing the nuns' behaviour, relentlessly pursuing transgressors on both sides of the convent wall. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR001174382
