Specialist Notes
Before and by and nbsp; by & nbsp; this work, a classic of Italian Renaissance historiography. Giacomo Bonfa di o, humanist and historian from Garda, called in 1544 to & nbsp; Genoa & nbsp; to teach philosophy, he had the task & nbsp; of & nbsp; to continue the story del Fo etta. He died beheaded in 1550 with the spurious charge & nbsp; by & nbsp; sodomy: the real reason for the sentence was resentment & nbsp; by & nbsp; some powerful family the and Genoese criticized in the work.
