The War of the Fists: Popular Culture and Public Violence in Late Renaissance Venice
Davis
This social history explores early-modern Venetian society through the lens of the festive combat which involved all classes, particularly the city's labourers. It describes the response of the Venetian patriciate, government and police to this largely uncontrollable, plebeian entertainment.
