Description
Italy and the Islamic World From Caesar to Mussolini by Ali Humayun Akhtar explores how Italian cities have served as hubs for international exchange over centuries, connecting Europe with the Middle East and North Africa. This new perspective on European history sheds light on Italy's debates about trade with its southern neighbours, offering insights into where the EU is heading today. From ancient Roman times to the Renaissance, Italy has been a crossroads of global commerce, facilitating encounters between different cultures. Akhtar's book delves into this rich history, revealing the complex relationships between Italy and its neighbours in the Middle East and North Africa. By examining these historical exchanges, Akhtar provides a fresh understanding of Europe's development and the ongoing impact of international trade on modern societies.
