The "Birth" of Italy
The Institutionalization of Italy as a Region, 3rd-1st Century BCE
von Filippo Carlà-UhinkThis book deals with the widely debated question about the existence of an 'Italian identity' in the time of the Roman Republic. Moving from theories and models developed in the field of social geography, the volume investigates the forms in which Italy was transformed into a region, with a clear territorial and symbolic shape, and approaches therefore from a new and original direction the question of the development of a 'regional identity'.
