The Holy Roman Empire: A Thousand Years of Europe's History by Peter H. Wilson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It has been interesting, and sometimes boring, but I have to say that I learned a lot, even if this way of writing about history handling each main topic and not in chronological order didn't work this time for me. When I read SPQR it was easier because I already knew a lot of the story so the scaffolding was there, but this time it was not enough and from times to times information disappeared really fast.

È stato un libro interessante, anche se a tratti noioso, ma stavolta, il modo di scrivere la storia partendo dagli argomenti principali senza seguire una linea cronologica per me non ha funzionato tanto perché, a differenza di SPQR dove la storia era nota e quindi lo scaffolding presente, spesso e volentieri mi perdevo le informazioni tra i capitoli perché non sapevo dove posizionarle nella mia mente....
