Today, historians want to remember him as a statesman, as a politician, and as a patron of the arts. However, the character is disconcerting as soon as we bring him back to the Italian lands where he was born. Bold or defeated in negotiations, hurried and unreasonable in action, awkward and passionate in expression, Mazarin, in his relations with Rome and with Italy, is not always the one we expect. The guest: Olivier Poncet, former member of the French School of Rome, is a professor at the École nationale des chartes where he teaches the history of institutions and archives of the modern era. He is the author of several works, including Mazarin l'italien, Tallandier, €21. *** Facebook: / histoireetcivilisationsmag Instagram: / histoireetcivilisations Twitter: / storiavoce
