City and Nation in the Italian Unification: The National Festivals of Dante Alighieri - Hardcover

by Mahnaz Yousefzadeh (Author)

This study of the first national festival of modern Italy historically reconstructs the event, using a mass of un-catalogued and unpublished documents left by the organizers, which positions the Centenary as a platform upon which an alternative definition of Italian national identity emerged.
