Summary

Territorial Statecraft: Transforming the Papal States through Renaissance Virtue Politics is a working title. The seminar is planned for Spring 2027 in partnership with the University of Miami; its dates, course code, credits and enrolment are not yet set, and this record will carry them when they are.

It is the first itinerant seminar on territorial statecraft, announced in the conversation Does Trust Scale? of 10 November 2026: “we do next year our first itinerant seminar on territorial statecraft.” It travels through the former Papal States, with San Marino and Florence likely.

The reading is James Hankins' Virtue Politics: Soulcraft and Statecraft in Renaissance Italy — humanism as a movement to reform exhausted political institutions by educating virtuous, eloquent people to run them — and Francesco Patrizi's design for a meritocratic republic.
