Review:

The history of Italy is central to the European experience. Through the supremacy of Rome, Italy enjoyed its greatest influence, as Roman power stretched from the Atlantic to the Borders of Mesopotamia, and from the Scottish Lowlands to the Sahara Desert. Italy remains a land of fascinating history and immense diversity of people and culture. The country's northern regions are thoroughly European, while its southern extremities are almost North African in character and climate. A Traveller's History Of Italy moves from Italy's pre-historic and Etruscan civilizations, through the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, the creation of modern Italy, fascism and World War II, and the role of Italy in today's Europe, including the political crises of the early 1990s. -- Midwest Book Review
