Lets be honest ,who today is aware of Northern Italian or Florentine history from 1490 - 1510?  SO Eliot wrote a well researched work about the time period and the travails and trials of Florence.  Seen through the eyes of a women, Romola, who lives her fictitious life in Florence.  Her growth as a women, wife, Florentine, Catholic is the main plot driver.  Her story is fantastic and this is a great work.
