Cleaning Up Renaissance Italy with Jane Stevens Crawshaw

Medieval citizens took steps to actively avoid living in filth. But how did they accomplish it? What were some of the ground rules? And how did this change when your city was also surrounded by water? This week on The Medieval Podcast, Danièle speaks with Jane Stevens Crawshaw about environmental policies in fourteenth and fifteenth-century Genoa and Venice.
Jane Stevens Crawshaw is the Deputy Head for Strategy and Development at Oxford Brookes University, where her research focuses on the social, medical and environmental history of Renaissance Italy. Her new book is Cleaning Up Renaissance Italy: Environmental Ideals and Urban Practice in Genoa and Venice.
The creator and host of The Medieval Podcast is Danièle Cybulskie.
