The pursuit of Italy : a history of a land, its regions and their peoples
Gilmour, David, 1952-2012
Books
Gilmour delves deep into Italy's cultural past to discover not only the effects of Risorgimento, but what, if anything, earlier generations have said about the concept of Italy. He examines what the Enlightenment thinkers believed, what Dante thought, what Machiavelli wanted and what the emperors made of it.
