Mit navn er Jernan Maldonado, og jeg er grundlægger af Aoi, en gavebutik med fokus på kunstner og håndladede produkter. Jeg valgte Shopify, før da jeg testede andre platformer, var det klart en af de mest brugervenlige. Det var vigtigt for mig at tænke over, hvor vi ville være i fremtiden. Alle værktøjerne til at få overblik over saldet, f.eks. lagerstyring, er lige der i dit kontrolpanel.

As firearms became smaller and easier to conceal, guns spread rapidly through society, moving from battlefields to appearances at court and onto the streets of the Italian city-states. Speaking to Emily Briffitt for this episode of the History Extra podcast, historian Catherine Fletcher reveals how they were weapons of war, tools of personal protection, and sources of deep social anxiety. Thank you so much for joining us to talk about your new book, The Firearm Revolution.
I've got so many questions I'd like to ask you today, so I want to start by asking, what did the emergence of firearms actually feel like in Renaissance Italy? Was it this shocking rupture or was it just another step in sort of evolving times? So it takes quite a long time to get from the point when the new style guns are first seen in Italy and noted, which is around 1433, to the point 70 years later when they're becoming decisive on the battlefield and then the point even a couple of decades After that, when you start to get the first laws passed to try and control certain types of guns.
