Well, my subject line sorta says it all, doesn't it?
What I am looking for specifically, are books on major landmarks that existed then (I know of a few already), customs, clothing, and society, particularily the merchant/banker/lawyer type classes, if possible.
I am familiar with the Borgias, the de Medicis, and whatnot, but that is a little after the timeframe when I'd like to set my book. Not to mention, that was more in Florence and Rome, if I am not mistaken, and my story will be set in Milan.
Basically, I'm clueless, and unless I start randomly googling, I really don't know where to start in terms of finding good sources.
Thanks so much for any and all help!
