Jane Fishman/Savannah Morning News In Italy history often means ancient By Jane Fishman Savannah Morning News After five days in Sicily, I didn't see one man in a pinstriped suit, one person carrying a machine gun or anyone who could have been related to anyone else from the made-for-TV Soprano mafioso family. But on the beach, I did hear Willie Nelson's version of "Georgia On My Mind" followed by Eminem and Joan Baez singing "Diamonds and Rust." And every morning on the deck outside the house of friends, I could spot my footprints in black ash from Mount Etna, which continues to blow its stack. Does that count for anything? And while we never saw molten lava, our train ride to Syracuse or the more lyrically sounding Siracusa, in Italian took us a mere two or three miles from Europe's tallest and most active volcano where we spotted lots of smoke and clouds. A couple hours before that, we decided at the last minute to step off the train in Taormina to tour the Greek Theater, a cliff-side arena from the 5th century B. C. (and home to an upcoming Bob Dylan concert), so we could get an even better view of the boiling Etna.

BACK to the Gallery "AQUA STRADA" Limited edition print 12 1/4" x 16 1/4" $60.00 It seems that no matter where I travel I always look for interesting doorways. Italy was no exception. As I explored the narrow paths and back streets of Venice, I came upon this wonderful doorway and wondow. Time and moisture were taking their toll on both the door and the building not in a dying way, but in an almost creative way. The handsome bricks were exposed to contrast beautifully with the fading blue paint. Color changes and cracks in the plaster added a feeling of movement against the still of the water below. They say in fifty years Venice will no longer exist. For me, however, scenes like this will last forever. "WALKING WITH THE FATHER" Limited edition print 16 1/4" x 22 1/4" $75.00 Just a few hours after sunrise along a back country road, I saw before me two figures dressed in black. Their long narrow shadows, like their journey, seemed endless as they fell upon the earth. Where had they come from? Where were they going? Or did it matter? As they walked into the distance, I remembered a scripture verse from the book of Matthew: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Considering my company, could I expect anything less?

Guido Mazzoni Collection Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library - Duke University Italy History Browse database entries for this category One of the largest sub-collections, this group numbers 3,849 records in practically every format represented in the collection. Many items are illustrated, and hundreds are " per nozze " items. Imprint dates run from 1751 through 1942. The materials in this vast group cover practically every aspect of Italian history from the earliest beginnings of settlement on the peninsula to the first years of World War II . Because of this scope, one would be well-advised to plan a careful search strategy which would include keywords in the title, names of individuals, and dates of publication (if applicable). The sub-groups of primary importance in this sub-collection are those materials which concern the Napoleonic era; the failed revolution in 1848; the Unification of Italy; and events in modern Europe (surrounding but not including the war years). Some materials difficult to classify under other headings are placed here, such as the annual acts of learned societies (L'Accademia della Crusca, for example), or any aspects of an organization's history that cannot be more specifically classified. Also found here are several items dealing with Italian immigration and immigrants abroad; a pamphlet on Italians in Boston, for example, would be located under this heading. Important individuals, both personages and historiographers include: Cesare Balbo, Albertino Mussato, Niccolo` Tommaseo (A and S), Gabriele D'Annunzio, Giuseppe Ricciardi, Giuseppe Garibaldi (A and S), Giuseppe Mazzini, Silvio Pellico (A and S), Massimo D'Azeglio, Andrea Maffei, Carlo Cipolla, Gioacchino Murat (S), Benedetto Cairoli (S), Vittorio Amedeo II (S), and hundreds more.

PlaceMenu("boundmenu") Benvenuti Mercoledi 9 Aprile 2003 06:03 (Ora Italiana) THE HISTORY OF ITALY Italy, history of since earliest times the history of Italy has been influenced by cultural and political divisions resulting from the peninsula's disparate geography and by circumstances that made Italy the scene of many of Europe's most important struggles for power. EARLY ITALY Recent excavations throughout Italy and Sicily have revealed evidence of human activity during the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods. By the beginning of the Neolithic period (c.5000 BC), the small communities of hunters of earlier times had been replaced by agricultural settlements, with some stock breeding and widespread use of stone implements and pottery. Painted vessels that seem to have been influenced by contemporary styles in Greece have been found at Castellaro Vecchio on the island of Lipari. The Bronze Age The Etruscans The diverse cultural patterns of the early Iron Age were further complicated in the late 8th century BC by the arrival of Greek colonizers in the south and in Sicily and by the appearance of the ETRUSCANS in central Italy and the Po Valley. Historians generally agree that Etruscan culture was the result of outside (probably eastern) influence on indigenous peoples; the source, degree, and chronology of that outside influence remain uncertain. By the end of the 7th century BC, LATIUM and part of CAMPANIA had joined central Italy under Etruscan rule. As the Etruscans expanded their rule, many city-states were founded by the Italians.

Medieval Italy The last hundred years of the Western Roman Empire, from the second half of the 4th century AD, coincided with large migrations of Germanic peoples (Visigoths, Vandals, Burgundians, Huns, Heruli, Alemanni etc.) who on different occasions settled within her territories. At the same time economic conditions also reflected the political instability of the imperial government, it deteriorated gradually and was accompanied by a chronic fall in population. Already by the 5th century AD the Italian population had been reduced to some six million inhabitants. With the end of the Western Roman Empire the Italian territory remained basically united, first under the rule of Odoacer and then that of Theodoric the Ostrogoth (493-526AD). Under the latter, the country had periods of relative economic prosperity and peace. This was also due to the contribution of illustrious Romanists such as Boethius, Cassiodorus and Symmachus. It was in this period that the influence of the Christian church began to make itself felt more consistently. This was in contrast to the progressive orientalization of the Empire, now focused on its new capital of

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Italy History While Italy's status as a single political entity is relatively recent (1861), its strategic Mediterranean position made it a target for colonisers and opportunists fairly early on in human history. The Etruscans were the first people to rule the peninsula, arriving somewhere between the 12th and 8th century BC. They were eventually subsumed within the mighty Roman Empire, leaving little cultural evidence, other than the odd tomb. The ancient Greeks, their contemporaries, set up a few colonies along the southern coast that became known as Magna Graecia and developed into independent city states. Thus the greater glory that was Rome was itself the offspring of Etruscan and Greek cultures. The first Roman Republic was founded in 509 BC, setting in motion the dogma of democracy, the linguistic nightmare of Latin and one of the largest empires the world has ever seen. The Republic's defeat of Carthage (near present-day Tunis) and Hellenic Macedonia during the three Punic Wars cleared the way for ultimate expansion into Spain, Britain, North Africa and present-day Iraq. Meanwhile, relative peace at home enabled the infrastructure of civilisation to spread - roads, aqueducts, cites. A slave-driven lifestyle and economy triumphed over the concept of people power, and the reins of the Republic were increasingly taken in hand by the military and, ultimately, the dictatorship. The empire grew so large, it was eventually divided into eastern and western sectors. Already, however, the bloodthirsty theatrics of regicide and intrigue were planting the seeds of its eventual destruction. Christianity was embraced by Constantine in 313, and the empire's capital was moved from Rome to Constantinople (present-day Istanbul). The western arm of the empire was undone by plague, famine and tribal incursions from the north, and was officially declared null and void in 476 when Odovacar, a German warrior, dubbed himself ruler. The Eastern Roman Empire clung on, even prospered in fits and starts, until overrun by the Turks in 1453.

59. Italy's History Of Flight italy. The produced. italy had become the fourth aeronautical powerin the world, after France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. http://www.flight100.org/history/italy.html

ITALY The first Italian who flew did so on board a balloon in 1784. Exactly 100 years after Paolo Andreani's flight, the Army of the young Italian state was equipped with a number of balloons that took part in the first Italian expedition to East Africa in 1890. Experimentation with aircraft in Italy was given a push by the visit of the French pioneer Delagrange (1908), and by Wilbur Wright, who flew in Italy and gave lessons on flying practice to two young Italian aviators. After that, aeronautical flight received a tremendous increase in activity and expansion, culminating in the first national event, the aerial circuit of Brescia in 1910. While it is difficult to say who was the first designer and which was the first design of an Italian aircraft, it is important to note that the country was the first nation to employ aircraft for military applications-using it for observations (photography) as well as the launching of hand-bombs during the Libyan War in 1911. At the beginning of World War I, the Italian aircraft industry was almost nonexistent and the Armed Forces were equipped with a very poor fleet (60 aircraft, 5 airships, and 12 seaplanes). However, aircraft were used for the launching of propaganda leaflets over Vienna in 1915.
