This book delves into a fascinating period of Anconitan history, detailing the events leading up to the city's loss of independence and annexation by the Papal States. The author draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, depositions, and eyewitness accounts, to reconstruct the dramatic events that unfolded during Cardinal Benedetto Accolti's rule.
