The response to the reviews of Carlo IV e l’Italia builds on the main observations offered by Christina Abel, Martin Bauch, and Caterina Cappuccio. Starting from the intellectual context in which the volume took shape, it reflects on the dialogue between different historiographical traditions – German, Bohemian, and Italian. It highlights the attempt not merely to map the networks linking writers, intellectuals-diplomats, and artists, but to give these constellations greater analytical depth by looking more closely at the cultural transfers that sustained them. The piece also points to the persistent challenges posed by the biographical genre and suggests rethinking Charles IV’s “Italian” policy in light of the renewed, transalpine scholarship on the nature of imperial power.
