Università Roma Tre

The course will address the history of the "long nineteenth century" (1789-1914), framing the study of the process of Italian unification in the broader international context which proposes, thanks to new studies on the nineteenth century, a global reading of the events concerning nations and empires in the 'Age of Revolutions. Seminars curated by the students are planned which, starting from the texts in the program and materials distributed by the teacher, will focus on:
- communication channels of the nineteenth-century "new politics": press and use of the image;
- the Roman Republic of 1849 as a "global case";
- Cavour, Garibaldi, Mazzini and Vittorio Emanuele II: reality and myth of the "Fathers of the Italian Fatherland".
