The Venetian War of 1487 between the maritime superpower Venice and the Alpine archduchy of Tyrol began for trivial reasons and led to considerable political upheaval - especially in Tyrol. The conflict is closely linked to the partly tragic, partly bizarre biography of Archduke Siegmund of Tyrol.
The Venetian War stood at the threshold between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the modern era: on the one hand, the battle for the town and castle of Rovereto, fought with heavy artillery, and on the other hand, the chivalrous duel between Johann von Waldburg-Sonnenberg and Antonia Maria da Sanseverino.
The battle of Calliano was decisive: a veteran of the Burgundian wars on the one hand, a highly respected condottiere on the other, against the breathtaking mountain backdrop of the Adige valley. For the first time, the new warrior type "Landsknechte" was decisive for the battle.
The material remains of the Venetian War are partly still visible today and a scientific treasure trove for archaeologists and cultural historians.
This book was produced in close cooperation with re-enactment groups from Italy, Austria and Germany. It also contains detailed images of weapons, colour illustrations and some of Wolfgang Braun's excellent reconstruction drawings.
