A proposito di questo titolo

From the year 1500 to the fall of Napoleon, each episode of "Turning Modern" highlights a different event, person, or creative work in the early modern West. Join me as I look at the people, forces, and art that helped shape the world we live in, for better and for worse.Chad D. Mondiale
