Programme
The course is divided in two parts carried out by two different teachers. The first, held by Dr. Antonio D’Alessandri, focuses on the historical events between the Napoleonic age and the political crisis of the late Nineteenth century. Particular attention is paid to the formation of the Italian national movement, within the broader framework of Europe during the so-called century of nationalities. The analysis deals with the many insurrectional attempts up to the crucial years of national unification. Then, the main problems of the new unitary state are tackled: from internal politics to the difficult search for an adequate international position for the country.The second part, taught by dr.
