Story
It is hard to find an island on the map more central than Sicily. It has rarely been governed as an independent, unified state. Nonetheless, the island has always occupied a front-row seat to some of the most important events in history, and nowhere is this more obvious than during antiquity. Modern Sicily: The History and Legacy of the Mediterranean Island Since the Middle Ages looks at one of the world’s most important and contested territories. You will learn about Sicily like never before.

Story
Benito Mussolini was a figure that was both revered and dreaded. He climbed the ladder of power rapidly in Italian politics, and he was brought down just as fast.

Venice, 1510. Maria Bartolini wants nothing more than to carry on her father's legacy as a master gilder. Instead, her father has sent her away from the only home she's ever known to train as an apprentice to Master Trevisan, a renowned painter. Maria arranges to leave the painter's workshop to return to her family workshop and to a secret lover waiting for her back home. But the encroaching Black Death foils her plans.... When the painter's servants uncover the real reason why Maria has been sent away to train with Master Trevisan, they threaten to reveal a secret.

Story
Venice stands, as she loves to tell you, on the frontiers of the east and west, half-way between the setting and the rising sun. Goethe calls her "the market-place of the Morning and the Evening lands". Certainly no city on earth gives a more immediate impression of symmetry and unity, or seems more patently born to greatness.

When Ye Pei dreamed of Venice as a girl, she imagined a magical floating city of canals and gondola rides. And she imagined her mother, successful in her new life and eager to embrace the daughter she had never forgotten. But when Ye Pei arrives in Italy, she learns her mother works on a farm far from the city. Her only connection, a mean-spirited Chinese auntie, puts Ye Pei to work in a small-town café. Rather than giving up and returning to China, a determined Ye Pei takes on a grueling schedule.

The year 1815 marked the beginning of a time of repression in Europe. Napoleon Bonaparte had been defeated at Waterloo and sent to the remote South Atlantic island of Saint Helena, the torrent of blood unleashed by the French Revolution had finally run dry, and the dispossessed princes were returning to their thrones. Bourbon King Louis XVIII returned to Paris, King Ferdinand VII was restored in Madrid, and the numerous petty princes of Germany and Italy took back power in their localities.

Story
As Rome swelled with tradespeople, artisans, slaves, and wealthy merchant families, its politicians struggled to maintain the fundamental democratic properties of the republican government. Rules were bent and broken, politicians and voters were bribed and lied to, and eventually, the power of Rome fell to the one man who could muster the respect and loyalty of the world-famous Roman army. That man was Gaius Julius Caesar.

Story
Winner of the 2011 Strega Prize, this blend of essay, social criticism, and memoir is a striking portrait of the effects of globalization on Italy’s declining economy. Starting from his family’s textile factory in Prato, Tuscany, Edoardo Nesi examines the recent shifts in Italy’s manufacturing industry. Only one generation ago, Prato was a thriving industrial center that prided itself on craftsmanship and quality. But during the last decade, cheaply made goods - produced overseas or in Italy by poorly paid immigrants - saturated the market, making it impossible for Italian companies to keep up.

Story
"Der er blod i Ginos årer. I Faustos er der benzin." Rivaliseringen mellem de to cykelhelte Fausto Coppi og Gino Bartali antager episke dimensioner i essayet fra 1949 af den italienske forfatter og krigskorrespondent Curzio Malaparte (1898-1957). Hans skarpe prosa tager læseren med ind i hjertet af cykelsporten, og den berømte duel bliver et billede på kløften mellem tro og rationale, tradition og udvikling i Europa i tiden omkring Anden Verdenskrig.

Story
I moti del 1848 in Sicilia come pretesto per rivalse trasformistiche da parte del notabilato: in questo contesto si svolgono due efferate stragi sulle quali le autorità si affrettarono a stendere un velo di silenzio. La prima strage avvenne a Porto Empedocle, dove il maggiore Sarzana si liberò in un sol colpo di 114 detenuti, soffocandoli e bruciandoli vivi in una cella comune; la seconda ebbe luogo a Pantelleria, dove ad opera di mafiosi e proprietari furono giustiziati 15 contadini in base a pretestuose accuse.

Story
La Resistenza a lungo è stata considerata solo una "cosa di sinistra": fazzoletto rosso e Bella ciao. Poi, negli ultimi anni, i partigiani sono stati presentati come carnefici sanguinari, che si accanirono su vittime innocenti, i "ragazzi di Salò". Entrambe queste versioni sono parziali e false. La Resistenza non è il patrimonio di una fazione, è un patrimonio della nazione. Aldo Cazzullo lo dimostra raccontando la Resistenza che non si trova nei libri.

È la mattina di Natale dell'anno 800: Carlo Magno entra nella basilica di San Pietro e china la testa davanti al pontefice Leone III per ricevere dalle sue mani la corona imperiale. È un evento senza precedenti: è l'atto di nascita di uno spazio geopolitico occidentale che, al di là delle vicissitudini della corona imperiale, costituisce ancora oggi l'orizzonte predominante della storia europea.

Story
"Brutta, povera e comunista" disse di Teresa Noce la madre del suo futuro marito – nonché segretario del Partito comunista italiano – Luigi Longo. Quella di Teresa Noce, nata poverissima alle "Cà neire", il quartiere più difficile di Torino, all’inizio del ventesimo secolo, è la storia di una femminista ante litteram che attraversa controcorrente quasi tutto il Novecento. Proletaria, figlia di una lavandaia abbandonata dal marito, fin da giovanissima organizza i primi scioperi delle operaie tessili e da iscritta al Pci è protagonista dell’antifascismo dopo la presa del potere di Mussolini.

Ci sono buchi in Sardegna che sono case di fate, morti che sono colpa di donne vampiro, fumi sacri che curano i cattivi sogni e acque segrete dove la luna specchiandosi rivela il futuro e i suoi inganni. Ci sono statue di antichi guerrieri alti come nessun sardo è stato mai, truci culti di santi che i papi si sono scordati di canonizzare, porte di pietra che si aprono su mondi ormai scomparsi, e mari di grano lontani dal mare, costellati di menhir contro i quali le promesse spose strusciano impudicamente il ventre nel segreto della notte, vegliate da madri e nonne.

Story
In molti scritti sulla Resistenza sono indicati come autori di attacchi ai tedeschi o vittime dei loro rastrellamenti "i partigiani", senza altra specificazione. Ma in gran parte dei casi si trattò di partigiani comunisti, la cui connotazione politica in seguito è rimasta spesso sotto traccia. Nel dopoguerra fu il loro stesso partito a inglobarli nella sua visione della guerra di Liberazione come "guerra di popolo" combattuta da un ampio fronte antifascista quasi indifferenziato.

The Moors are well-known for their presence on the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages and for the conflicts they fought in Europe, but the term Moor is a historical rather than an ethnic name. It is an invention of European Christians for the Islamic inhabitants of Maghreb (North Africa), Andalusia (Spain), Sicily, and Malta, and it was sometimes used to designate all Muslims.
