The Vatican And The Quirinal (1882) - Alexander Wood - Bog

The Vatican and the Quirinal is a historical book written by Alexander Wood and first published in 1882. The book provides a detailed account of the relationship between the Vatican and the Quirinal Palace in Rome during the late 19th century. The Vatican, which is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, and the Quirinal Palace, which was the residence of the Italian monarchs, had a complex relationship during this time, as Italy was still in the process of unification and the Church was struggling to maintain its power and influence. Wood's book explores the political, religious, and social tensions that existed between the two institutions, and how they impacted the wider society in Italy. The book also delves into the personal relationships between the key figures involved, including Pope Leo XIII and King Umberto I, and how their interactions shaped the course of events. Overall, The Vatican and the Quirinal is a fascinating insight into a pivotal moment in Italian history, and the complex interplay between religion, politics, and power. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, Italian politics, or the wider social and cultural context of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
