What reading level is Italy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And since, as it is known, there are three orders among them, of ^ captains, vassals, and the commons,^ in order to keep down arrogance, these aforesaid consuls are chosen, not from one order, but from each, and, lest they should be seized with a greed for power, they are changed nearly every year. From which it happens that that territory is all divided into cities, which have each reduced those of their own province to live with them, so that there is hardly to be found any noble or great man... with so great an influence, as not to owe obedience to the rule of his own city.
And they are all accustomed to call these various territories their own Comitatus, from this privilege of living together. And in order that the means of restraining their neighbours may not fail, they do not disdain to raise to the badge of knighthood, and to all grades of authority, young men of low condition, and even workmen of contemptible mechanical arts, such as other people drive away like the plague from the more honourable and liberal pursuits.
