One notable figure that dominated this era was Vlad Tzepesch, also known as Vlad the Impaler. His ruthless tactics left an indelible mark on history. In Italy, the Serravallese Loggia stood tall as the ancient seat of political power. Rebuilt in 1462, it symbolized resilience and endurance amidst changing times. Nearby, the majestic Clock Tower of Vittorio Veneto added charm to the Veneto region's skyline. The printing press revolutionized knowledge dissemination during this era.

Another captivating artwork from 1462 was "Madonna della Misericordia, " depicting divine mercy embracing humanity. Beyond art and culture, politics played a crucial role in shaping history during this year.
