Vesuvius is best known for its disastrous eruption of 79CE. But only after 1738, in the age of Enlightenment, did the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii reveal its full extent. In an era of groundbreaking scientific endeavor and violent revolution, Vesuvius became a focal point of strong emotions and political aspirations, an object of geological enquiry, and a powerful symbol of the Romantic obsession with nature. John Brewer charts the changing seismic and social dynamics of the mountain, and the meanings attached by travelers to their sublime confrontation with nature.

La obra fundamental sobre el origen, expansión y caída del movimiento fascista en el siglo XX. El atractivo estético del fascismo italiano llegó a asimilarlo a las vanguardias de principios del siglo XX. Como todo nacionalismo, fue vivido por sus seguidores como una religión secular, procedente del socialismo izquierdista pero a la vez con claros antecedentes derechistas. El estudio del fascismo, de su estética, de su lenguaje, de su poder de sugestión, no ha perdido actualidad y sigue atrayendo el interés de numerosos historiadores.

The Moors are well-known for their presence on the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages and for the conflicts they fought in Europe, but the term Moor is a historical rather than an ethnic name. It is an invention of European Christians for the Islamic inhabitants of Maghreb (North Africa), Andalusia (Spain), Sicily, and Malta, and it was sometimes used to designate all Muslims.

In 1494, there were five sovereign regional powers in Italy: Milan, Venice, Florence, the Papal States and Naples. In 1536, only one remained: Venice. These decades of conflict precipitated great anxiety among Western thinkers, and Italians responded to the fragmentation of Latin Christendom, the end of self-governance for Italians, and the beginning of the early modern era in various ways. They were always heavily influenced by the lived experience of warfare between large Christian armies on the peninsula.

On November 11, 1943, the Nazis invaded Cansano, forcing its two thousand inhabitants to make a tough decision—fight and be killed or sent to a POW camp, stay behind as servants to the Nazis, or move into the unforgiving mountains of Abruzzo while the Nazis used their village as a home base. Giovanni Ruscitti's family chose the latter and spent the next few months living in horrendous winter conditions in the rugged mountains. When the war ended, they returned to a village so ravaged by the Nazis that, today, the town has less than 200 citizens and remains in a dilapidated state.

Alla scoperta dell’anima oscura, nascosta, sotterranea, esoterica e criminale della città. È antico il fascino di Bologna. Come un’ombra, percorre da secoli i vicoli del centro storico, i sotterranei e i portici che hanno reso celebre nel mondo la città. Tutti conoscono la Bologna “dotta”, “grassa” e “turrita”, ma solo in pochi conoscono i segreti, gli enigmi e i gialli del capoluogo emiliano. Come la necropoli dei vampiri emersa dalle viscere della terra durante i recenti scavi per l’alta velocità, o il codice mai decifrato inciso sulla Pietra di Bologna.

Nel corso della storia d'Italia il confine orientale ha sempre costituito una zona di frizione e scontro: prima luogo simbolico dove doveva compiersi l'azione risorgimentale con il raggiungimento della piena unificazione del territorio nazionale e l'affermarsi dell'Italia come grande potenza, poi confine fra mondi e ideologie negli anni della guerra fredda.
