Atlante letterario del Risorgimento: 1848-1871

The volume contains 70 schedules that reinterpret the fundamental events of Italian Risorgimento as described by men of letters and eyewitnesses. This important moment in Italian history is traced through the reading of texts belonging to different literary genres: poetry, prose, autobiographical or biographical writings, letters, drama. More than 40 Italianists have contributed to the volume, which was released with the support of the Committee for the Celebrations of the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification created in 2011 by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. The volume also contains an appendix which collects figurative documents meant to illustrate the main events of the process of unification and a repertoire of musical compositions of Italian Risorgimento.
