Girolamo Arnaldi is Professor Emeritus of Medieval History, University of Bologna and University of Rome, La Sapienza.
[Arnaldi's] interests stretch from the sack of Rome by Alaric to
the American liberation of Italy in World War II...This elegant
volume is an opportunity to consider the broad sweeps of history,
illustrated through selected examples...It in some ways
accomplishes more than the author claims, by making clear the
central issues of Italian identity over centuries, and illustrating
the shifting nature of how Italians have viewed themselves. A
reader will be enriched by understanding the central flow of events
that Arnaldi presents in their broadest context.--John Lewis"Bryn

Arnaldi's book is a little gem, informative and fair on the
historical vicissitudes of the peninsula.--Antonio
