Sommario
This is the first volume of a historical work on "the heretics of Italy." It discusses the religious landscape of Italy during the time of the Reformation, arguing that contrary to popular belief, Italians were not indifferent to the religious upheavals of the time.
The author, Cesare Cantù, examines the historical, social, and philosophical context of the Reformation in Italy and critiques how previous historians have handled the topic.
He also delves into the nature of heresy and faith, advocating for a reasoned defense of Catholic doctrine.
