If you want to discover the captivating history of Italy, then pay attention....

It is not an easy job to draw the border between the history of Italy and the history of Rome. In so many places, the two political and geographical entities collide. They wouldn’t be possible without each other, but they each have their own story.

Rome’s history is only a small fragment of Italy’s history. Although it is just a city, Rome was the birthplace of the republic, a great empire, and notable philosophers, poets, and artists. But on a larger scale, Rome expanded its borders, spreading not only through Italy, but also through the whole known world. In that context, Rome ceased being only a city; it also became a universal imperial symbol and the pride of Italy.

In History of Italy: A Captivating Guide to Italian History, Starting from the First Settlements through the Middle Ages to the Modern Period, you will discover topics such as:

• The Bronze Age in Italy and the Early Settlements
• Iron Age and Pre-Roman Italy
• Italy in the Roman Period

history of Italy and Europe

One of the interesting facts in this book that I learned was about the Unification of Italy in 1861, Before 1861 the country was divided into various states, and these states often were not self-governing but were instead ruled by other powers. I especially liked the chapter about the renaissance. I really enjoyed this book.

a large span of history and a wealth of information of Italy's complexities and ruling by surrounding countries

Great beginning with tons of knowledge -- a wonderful to start understanding the country much better than I did before.

What the heck is bce

The whole BCE thing was distracting a boring in a Mona tone voice and not much modern day or architecture history should have been a free listen
