Diplomazia e stato sabaudo : un tema storiografico aperto

The role of the Savoyard State diplomacy between the 16th and 18th centuries has not been studied like that of the most important Italian states. Scholars of diplomacy seem to overlook the Savoy case while foreign historians show greater interest. The author takes stock of this issue by pointing out that we are only recently beginning to consider with due importance the Savoy diplomacy and its role in the european history of the Old regime.
