Analyzes the development of the Italian people from prehistoric times to today, dealing with all the major periods of Italian history

A Traveller's History of Italy (Traveller's Histories)

The history of Italy is central to the European experience. Through the supremacy of Rome, Italy enjoyed its greatest influence, as Roman power stretched from the Atlantic to the borders of Mesopotamia, and from the Scottish Lowlands to the Sahara Desert. A Traveller's History of Italy moves from Italy's pre-historic, and Etruscan civilizations, through the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, the creation of modern Italy, fascism and World War II, and the role of Italy in today's Europe, right up to the present.

"The Traveller's History" series is designed for the discerning holidaymaker or traveller who feels that they need more historical background information on the country in which they are staying than can be found in a guide.
