People Fabiano is Following. Despite its impact on the historical record the origins, dynamics, and memory of such violence has not received sustained and focused examination by scholars except in the case of the sack of Rome in This project, which will be published as Renaissance Mass murder: Civilians and Soldiers During the Italian Wars OUP, , will provide the first analytical overview of mass murder during the Italian Wars and will examine what drove both soldiers and non-combatants towards violence which often horrified contemporaries but which could also be justified by the customs and demands of warfare and honour.
Let me begin with an archival text: A gripping tale of espionage and escape during the Italian Wars followed. After escaping imprisonment in Trent by paying 50 ducats Cavechia passed information from Venice to the condottiero Alvise Avogadro, whose disastrous conspiracy against French rule in the Venetian city of Brescia precipitated a bloody sack there in In flight for his life his horse died under him and he was imprisoned and again threatened with hanging for his espionage activities.

This vivid story, and dozens more contained in supplications from ordinary men and women preserved in the files of the Ten, brings home in the most startling and personal way the human cost of the Italian Wars which devastated Venetian territory during Like Cavechia, many supplicants naturally emphasised their service to the state. In Brescia he was taken prisoner with Gritti and held in prison in Milan for 5 months and paid a fine of ducats, while his brother served in the defence of Brescia as a soldier.
For example, in her appeal Laura Berardo described how her father learnt of the siege of Padua while in Pisa and returned to defend the city at his own expense by building banks, bastions and other fortifications. For this service to the honour, glory, and utility of Venice the Ten granted her 50 ducats towards a dowry. This canny appeal to social shame and solidarity worked and the Ten agreed to help him.
Like the French pardons examined by Natalie Zemon Davis or the tales of contemporaries told by Francesco Vettori the supplications in the Venetian archives should not be dismissed as mere fictions, or even as histories largely concocted by notaries and other officials. Finally, there is one instance where these worlds may collide. He therefore thought it advisable to move to Mantua and then Ferrara, and he now wished to return home.

Giangiorgio Trissino had been banished from Vicenza because of his support for the imperialists and was now on a campaign of ingratiation with the Venetian authorities, which included an oration directed towards the doge. He was also the author of an important work of tragedy and reflections on the Italian language which may be said to be central to the reordering of Italian cultural landscape as the supplications were to the reestablishment of order in the Veneto after the disruptions of war.
In the latter case Jacomo de Modesto of Orzinuovi and an accomplice stabbed the aptly named Dr Infelice Zanucha, who was returning to Brescia from Venice, nine times and threw his body in a ditch: Archivio di Stato, Venice, Senato terra, Deliberazioni, reg. Another murder at the hands of twelve men is recorded in Archivio di Stato, Venice, Senato terra, Deliberazioni, reg. Stanford University Press, Manchester University Press, , Johns Hopkins University Press, , ch. To complicate matters further, these figures might also include the number of those killed in events preceding and succeeding the sack.
For example, the sack of Capua was preceded by four days of bombardment, while the sack of Rome was followed by a plague which may have killed around imperial troops alone within two months.

In the course of this project I will be faced with an array of numbers, probably exaggerated, and will have to think of ways of obtaining more accurate figures for the dead. One possibility may be offered by studies of local burial records, for example those held by mendicant orders which I looked at for an earlier study , or the evidence of mass graves like that of Towton in , which has been excavated and so I would welcome comments from archaeologists.
