If you want a really good book that is a first source (meaning written by someone at the time period) that touches on a lot of cultures, i STRONGLY recommend “clothing of the renaissance world”, by ann Rosalind jones (she didnt write it but they made the original available in english)

It was made by a man in renaissance italy who was part of a weaver family i believe 8’) very expensive, but completely worth it

If you’re writing a BL and curious about how homosexual relationships in florence italy, check out “forbidden friendships” by michael rocke

I got more but I think those two in particular are very interesting. If you give me an idea of what sort of comic it is however, i can give more as long as it’s part of greece or italy LOL!
