Healthy Living In Late Renaissance Italy

The authors explore in detail the efforts made by men and women in late Renaissance Italy to stay healthy and prolong their lives. Drawing on a wide variety of sources - ranging from cheap healthy living guides in the vernacular to personal letters conduct literature, household inventories, and surviving images and objects - they demonstrate that a sophisticated culture of prevention was being developed in 16th-century Italian cities.
