Abstract :Isabella Lazzarini offers a new take on the issue of modern diplomacy’s emergence in late medieval Europe. Following the basic tenets of new diplomatic history, her account carefully scrutinizes the evolution of diplomatic interactions in Italy through what she calls the long Quattrocento. In her presentation of a multilayered and multifaceted diplomacy, she espouses a revisionist approach against the traditional historiography which sees diplomacy within the grand narrative of modern state’s emergence and places its roots firmly in the mid-fifteenth century, taking Florence as its case-study.Keywords : Isabella Lazzarini, Communication and Conflict, Italian Diplomacy in the Early Renaissance
