Driving Modernity: Technology, Experts, Politics, and Fascist Motorways, 1922-1943
ISBN: 9781785334498 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On March 26th, 1923, in a formal ceremony, construction of the Milan-Alpine Lakes autostrada officially began, the preliminary step toward what would become the first European motorway. That Benito Mussolini himself participated in the festivities indicates just how important the project was to Italian Fascism. Driving Modernity recounts the twisting fortunes of the autostrada, which-alongside railways, aviation, and other forms of mobility-Italian authorities hoped would spread an ideology of technological nationalism. It explains how Italy ultimately failed to realize its...

Same-Sex Marriage in Renaissance Rome
ISBN: 9781501702372 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Same-sex marriage is a hotly debated topic in the United States, and the world, today. From the tenor of most discussions, however, it would be easy to conclude that the idea of marriage between two people of the same sex is a uniquely contemporary phenomenon. Not so, argues Gary Ferguson in this remarkable book about a same-sex wedding ceremony in sixteenth-century Rome. The case in question involved a group of mostly Spanish and Portuguese men, arrested and executed in Rome in 1578, said to have performed same-sex wedding ceremonies in one of the city's major churches. We know about the... Same-sex marriage is a hotly debated topic in the United States, and the world, today. From the tenor of most discussions, however, it would be eas... |

The Rome Empire from antiquity through the Middle Ages according to more objective and holistic evidence amassed prior to the European enslavement of Africans before...

Italy's Divided Memory
ISBN: 9781349381050 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book argues that contemporary Italian history has been marked by a tendency towards divided memory. Events have been interpreted in contrasting ways, and the facts themselves often contested. Moreover, with so little agreement over what happened, and why it happened, it has been extremely difficult to create any consensus around memory. These divisions have been seen at all levels, but take on particular importance when linked to the great traumatic and life-changing events of the Twentieth century - war, terrorism, disaster - but can also be applied to more cultural fields such as sport...

ISBN: 9781535219259 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The reputation of the Normans in the eleventh century as conquerors is as much the result of their patronage of historical writing as to their military abilities. By eleventh century standards, Norman military activities are well documented especially in the narrative accounts of their exploits in Italy. By 1100, three different chroniclers had independently of each other produced full-length accounts of the conquests in southern Italy and Sicily. The first chronicler Amatus of Montecassino composed his History of the Normans within a few years of the death of Richard I of Capua, a generous...

The Mediterranean has always loomed large in the history and culture of Italy, and since the 1980s this relationship has been represented in ever more varied forms as both national and regional identities have evolved within a globalized context.
