Description

Product Description Italy is a country that exercises a hold on the imagination of people all over the world. Its long history has left an inexhaustible treasure chest of cultural achievement: Historic cities such as Rome, Florence, and Venice are among the most sought-after destinations in the world for tourists and art lovers. Italy's natural beauty and cuisine are rightly renowned. It's history and politics are also a source of endless fascination. Modern Italy has consistently been a political laboratory for the rest of Europe. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Modern Italy contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 400 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Italy. Review This historical dictionary covers Italy from the time of Napoleon to the present. It is strongest on the Risorgimento (the unification of Italy) and events onward. The preface, which focuses on politics and economics, is followed by a list of acronyms and abbreviations (essential for understanding Italian politics and economics), a map, and a detailed chronology. Cultural topics are then covered in entries for architecture, literature, music, and film. Neorealism receives separate coverage, though painting has no individual entry. One of the dictionary's most useful features is coverage of the populist movements so prominent in recent Italian politics. Immigration also has its own entry. . . Several major cultural figures, including Pier Paolo Pasolini and Luciano Pavarotti, have their own entries. . . Sports receive notice under Calcio (soccer). Extensive cross-references are provided throughout this wide-ranging dictionary, which is followed by a substantial bibliography. Summing Up: Recommended.
