    This valuable deal contains multiple titles in one book. The topics are the following: 
Florence: Florence was a major center of middle ages European trade and banking, and also one of the most affluent cities in the world at the time. A lot of academics believe it was the beginning of the Renaissance, and it has been called "the Athens of the Middle Ages." Renaissance painters and sculptures alike have their legacy in this city. 
Naples: Naples, established by Greeks in the first millennium BC, is just one of the world's oldest constantly occupied cities. Naples has a long history, all the way dating back to Roman times, the outbreak of the Vesuvius, and much more. Let’s learn more about this fascinating city’s history. 
St. Catherine of Siena: Catherine of Siena (who lived from March 25, in 1347 to April 29th, in the year 1380), a Dominican laywoman, was a mystic, activist, and writer who impacted Italian literature and the Catholic Church significantly. She was canonized in 1461 and is a Medical professional of the Church. She was born and raised in Siena and, regardless of her parents' desires, desired dedicate her life to God from an early age. 
The Vatican: What comes to mind when you say the words “Vatican City?” The Pope? Big cathedrals or underground catacombs with the corpses of buried saints from the past? Crowds of people with candles? Or a choir of young men in a certain attire? The Vatican is a landlocked, independent city state and enclave in Rome, Italy. 
Venetian Empire: When we think of Venice, we think of masks, canals, murals and frescoes, and little “gondoliers” with picturesque boats. Venice, indeed, has an impressive artistic history. But did you know that Venice was also, for a while, a considerably sized empire? The creation of the Venetian republic is said to have accompanied the starting of the church of St. James at the exact same time.

    The path leading to the American Revolution was shaped by a series of escalating conflicts between the British Crown and its colonies. Tensions began to rise in the mid-18th century as Britain sought to assert more control over its American territories. After the costly French and Indian War, Britain faced a significant national debt and turned to its colonies as a source of revenue. The imposition of new taxes on the colonies, including the Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act of 1765, marked the beginning of widespread discontent. These laws were seen by many colonists as an infringement on their rights, as they had no direct representation in the British Parliament. The rallying cry of "no taxation without representation" became a powerful slogan for those opposing the British measures. 
In response to these policies, the colonists began organizing protests. The Stamp Act Congress of 1765 was a significant early attempt at collective action, bringing together representatives from nine colonies to challenge the Stamp Act. The colonists boycotted British goods, and the resistance movement began to take shape. The British government responded by repealing the Stamp Act in 1766, but the damage had already been done. The colonists had tasted the power of collective action, and their resistance continued to grow. 
In the following years, Britain enacted other measures that further exacerbated tensions. The Townshend Acts of 1767, which imposed duties on glass, paper, and tea, were met with widespread opposition. Colonists viewed these taxes as another attempt to control them without their consent. The Boston Massacre of 1770, in which British soldiers killed five colonists during a confrontation, further fueled anger and resentment. The event was widely publicized by colonial leaders like Samuel Adams, who used it as a propaganda tool to rally support for the cause of independence.
