Story
In all of human history there has never been an era as richly endowed with human creativity as the Italian Renaissance. When the economic boom of the Late Middle Ages had allowed a flourishing and wealthy merchant class to emerge, a plethora of artists, sculptors, architects, and thinkers followed in their wake. In an astonishingly short period of time, Italy was transformed mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Story
Quando Mussolini tiene il primo discorso alla Camera da Capo del Consiglio, dopo la Marcia su Roma (è il 16 novembre 1922, la Marcia ha avuto luogo tra il 28 e il 31 del mese precedente), Emilio Lussu, deputato del Partito Sardo d'Azione, è in ospedale a Cagliari, vittima di un'aggressione fascista, ma riesce ugualmente a fornirne un resoconto illuminante. Mussolini può ormai giocare coi parlamentari come il gatto con il topo: li può calpestare con una sola zampata, e lo dice loro, ma può anche non farlo, se essi saranno buoni. Molti in effetti lo saranno.

Story
Ancient Rome is indeed an intriguing subject of history. The Roman Empire maintained European hegemony for half a millennium; it had legendary rulers like Augustus who, as they say, "found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble." This audiobook relates the history of Ancient Rome from its dawn to dusk: the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire. The tumultuous wars, the celebrated rulers, the factors that occasioned the fall of Rome - every prominent event of this epoch is discussed thoroughly.

Story
The history of Naples is long and tortured, or at least for centuries that was how its history has been told. Inhabited almost continuously from the Neolithic era to the present, Naples was founded by the Greeks and conquered by the Romans. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Naples passed between various foreign rulers for its entire history prior to Italian unification. Starting in 1040, when the Norman French invaders conquered Campania, Naples was ruled in a dizzying succession by Germans, then French, then Spanish, then Austrians, then Spanish, then French, and then Spanish.

Story
The largest island of the Mediterranean has always been a complicated place with a fraught relationship to the Italian mainland. Separated by only the narrow Strait of Messina, Sicily feels like a different country in many ways, and the differences between Sicilians and Italians are much vaster than the tiny geographical separating them might intimate. For example, the linguistic differences between the two are substantial, as Sicilian is practically its own language, rather than just a dialect.

Story
Ci sono i comunisti e gli scomunisti, i barbari padani e i democristiani, i socialisti craxiani e non craxiani, i postfascisti e i berluscones: settant'anni di costume, di scissioni, di precisazioni, di essere uguali ma diversi hanno finito per affollare il nostro paese di tribù e sottotribù politiche, ognuna con i suoi tic, le sue parole d'ordine e di contrordine, i suoi vizi privati e le sue pubbliche virtù. Filippo Ceccarelli, "curioso di professione", si inabissa nelle infinite pieghe di questa storia cominciata con il dopoguerra e forse ora finita per sempre.

Le "stragi nere" iniziano il 12 dicembre 1969 con Piazza Fontana e terminano il 4 agosto 1974 con l'attentato al treno Italicus. Alcuni giorni dopo la bomba di Milano, il settimanale britannico The Observer parlerà di "strategia della tensione", riferendosi non solo alle bombe ma al modo in cui sono stati strumentalizzati attentati e disordini sociali, chiamando in causa la stampa e i politici.

Story
Il termine "Vaticano" evoca immediatamente l'immagine dell'immensa piazza antistante la basilica di San Pietro e il monumentale colonnato che l'abbraccia. Tra i fedeli cattolici evoca anche la finestra da cui il papa benedice la folla festante. Ma il Vaticano è molto di più. Stato di diritto tra i più piccoli al mondo, minuscola città dentro la vasta città di Roma, di cui ha condiviso le vicissitudini e di cui costituisce "l'altra faccia", ha una lunghissima storia, ricca di chiaroscuri e di personaggi più o meno limpidi.

Il brigante Carmine Crocco, flagello della monarchia sabauda, durante la sua condanna all'ergastolo presso il carcere di Portoferraio si dedicò alla stesura delle sue memorie. Avrebbe potuto essere un onesto contadino timorato di Dio, con una moglie devota e figli affezionati, ma l'invasione piemontese e la caduta del Regno delle Due Sicilie serbavano per lui un destino diverso, un destino che rivive nelle pagine di questa straordinaria testimonianza.

Story
La Storia della letteratura italiana, completata nel 1871 è la principale opera di Francesco De Sanctis, il più grande critico letterario e saggista italiano dell'Ottocento: essa costituisce la prima grande sintesi organica di tutta la letteratura italiana. L'opera, che non deve essere considerata un manuale di consultazione ma una sintesi ardente di tutta l'intera storia della società italiana vista attraverso le opere letterarie, si svolge con un forte ritmo narrativo dove i personaggi sono gli autori e i loro testi.

In the 18th century, Italy was still divided into smaller states but differently than during medieval times when the political entities were independent and were flourishing economic and cultural centers, almost unrivaled in Europe. The First Italian War of Independence chronicles the turbulent events that led to 1848, and how the revolutions of that year set Italy on the path to unification.

Story
La caduta dell'Impero Romano è stato un processo lento e complicato, iniziato - ben prima del sacco di Roma - con l'avvicinarsi ai confini di quelle stesse tribù che avevano invaso la Cina, e proseguito attraverso gli anni di Costantino e Teodosio. Comincia così per l'Italia un lungo periodo oscuro: le città vengono abbandonate, eserciti barbari percorrono il Paese depredandolo, devastandolo e seminando terrore. Fino al fatidico Anno Mille si susseguono secoli di ferro e di sangue, di lutti e di invasioni. È il momento più difficile da raccontare nella storia italiana.

Story
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, forevermore, of Latin Christendom, the end of self-governance for Italians, and the beginning of the early modern era in a myriad of ways. They were always heavily influenced by the lived experience of warfare between large Christian armies on the peninsula.
