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
  • Barbarian and Byzantine Italy
  • The Kingdom of the Lombards and the Emergence of the Papal States
  • Italy’s Place in the Holy Roman Empire
  • Italy’s Renaissance
  • The Modern History of Italy
  • And much, much more!

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. It is a comprehensive account of the growth of Italy from the Bronze Age onwards. It covers the many wars and conflicts, the resultant shifts in power and the political and economic struggle throughout this time. Definitely well worth listening to and I will return to it again and again.

Outsized space is given to ancient history and 200 years of modern Italy are brushed in a chapter. Nothing essentially is said of Italy after ww2.
Also, I don’t understand the claim that Italy lost 1/3 of the population in ww1. Less than 3% of the population died in the conflict and land was annexed, so its population actually increased…?!
