Università Roma Tre

Educational objectives
The course of the History of the Risorgimento falls within the scope of the educational activities (Affini e integrative) of the Master's Degree course in History and Society (LM84) and aims to integrate the skills provided by the general history courses on the Italian nineteenth century. By critically analyzing a specific theme, different each year, the course aims: a) to guide students to understand the long process of forming a national consciousness, starting from the Jacobin republics of the late eighteenth century until the First World War; b) to deepen the path of diffusion of new ideas, cultural, social or political changes in the period of transition from the pre-unification States to the new unitary State; c) to address significant problem areas that the new State was faced with. Considerable space will be given to reading sources, historiographical debates and the use of research tools and aids.
