TASSO FAMILY POST
From Cornello to Europe

The volume intends to make available to readers a manual able to provide a general picture of Tasso history and to give an immediate comparison between descendants and characters, reserving a wider framework to the great Literati Bernardo and his son Torquato.

In the various chapters, events that develop along 500 years are summarized; a synthetic overview of the complex organization of postal networks that effect most of the European countries from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth century, in Germany to the second half of Eighteenth century.
