As a teacher of Italian literature and culture, I think this project is an excellent idea and would be very useful to undergraduate students. The Prince is taught across the board in the Great Books curricula in the United States and the task of introducing Italy's complex Rennaissance history would definitely benefit from multimedia tools like this. I've used something similar in teaching Dante's Inferno and students really appreciate the visual mapping of Dante's structure of Hell and the integration of spatial and textual elements. Looking forward to the complete piece!
