Description
The Pursuit of Italy: A History of a Land, Its Regions and Their Peoples
This comprehensive history of the Italian peninsula offers a fresh and engaging perspective on the country's complex past. From the great figures of ancient Rome to the tumultuous events of the 20th century, David Gilmour's narrative brings to life the stories and experiences of the people who have shaped Italy's identity.
By exploring the regions that have defined Italy's culture and history, Gilmour reveals the country's true strength and resilience, rather than its often-misconceived national identity. A compelling and well-researched account, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Italian history and culture.
