Modern Italy since 1815
Description | This course offers an upper-level survey of modern Italian history from 1815 to the present, mainly concerning il Novecento (Twentieth Century).

It provides a complex narrative of late-modern/contemporary Italy building-process, whilst also opening windows for new interpretations and criticism. In addition, the course places Italian events within a European and world-wide framework. The course concludes with a reflection on the future of Italy. |
