Abstract

The paper is a contribution to the study of the history of emotions based on Leonardo Amaseo’s extensive and very content-rich diary from between 1508 and 1510, the period of the first Habsburg-Venetian war as part of the Italian wars. Through an in-depth critical reading of the source and by taking into account the author’s perception of the war situation and the threats of war at the time, it is possible to explore emotional aspects at the direct and indirect levels. The author’s constant attention to the outbreak, escalation, or pacification of the conflict is expressed, reflecting his deep concern or fear of war and its aftermath, as well as his persistent hope for peace.
