The birthplace of the Renaissance and the Baroque style, Italy has always been the center of culture. In modern Italy, pride in the cultural identity, which distinguishes Tuscan, Rome, Sicily, Venice and other regions, is strong. Summarizing the most important events of the history of Italy from the founding of Rome and the unification of the country to the realities of the fascist regime in the first half of the 20th century and further, to the present day, the authoritative British historian Jeremy Black explores the origins of the cultural influence of Italians on the whole world, as well as the causes and consequences of political events and Separation that still exists today.
“This book is indispensable for those who are going to visit Italy and at the same time want to learn about it more than what can usually be read in laconic guides. For long centuries, Italy was fragmented and many of its parts belonged to large powers rival with each other - the Austrian and Spanish empires. Therefore, she does not have a single centuries -old history, like other countries (for example, France), and writing a brief story of Italy is not easy. My story includes both fundamental events in chronological order and information about individual regions. ” (Jeremy Black)
