Book Overview

The Cradle of the Colombos is a book written by Hugh Flattery that explores the history and genealogy of the Colombo family. The Colombos are an ancient Italian family that have been prominent in the region of Lombardy for centuries. The book delves into the origins of the family, tracing their roots back to the 12th century and exploring their rise to power and influence in the region.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Colombo family history. The first section provides an overview of the family's early years and their rise to prominence in Lombardy. The second section explores the family's involvement in politics and their relationships with other prominent families in the region.The third section of the book focuses on the family's cultural and artistic contributions to Lombardy. The Colombos were patrons of the arts and were responsible for commissioning many of the region's most famous works of art and architecture.The final section of the book explores the decline of the Colombo family in the modern era. The family's fortunes declined as Lombardy became part of the larger Italian state, and the book examines the challenges that the family faced in adapting to these changes.Overall, The Cradle of the Colombos is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of one of Italy's most prominent families. It provides a fascinating insight into the history and culture of Lombardy and the wider Italian region, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Italy and its people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
