Venezia contro il Papa: la crisi del 1606

Venice, 1606. A clash that threatened to ignite all of Europe. This was no trivial theological debate, but a cold and complex geopolitical, economic, and logistical crisis. In this documentary, we analyze the Interdict launched by Pope Paul V against the Republic of Venice. We will discover how a dispute born from the arrest of two clerics for common crimes and state laws against real estate "mortmain" transformed into the first great propaganda campaign of the modern era: the War of the Writings. Guided by the sharp intellect of the Servite friar Paolo Sarpi, we will explore the printing presses, the economy, the Arsenal, and the diplomacy of a State ready to do anything to defend its jurisdiction and survival. A rational investigation, far from false myths, to understand the true mechanisms of 17th-century European power.
