Story
The largest island of the Mediterranean has always been a complicated place with a fraught relationship to the Italian mainland. Separated by only the narrow Strait of Messina, Sicily feels like a different country in many ways, and the differences between Sicilians and Italians are much vaster than the tiny geographical separating them might intimate. For example, the linguistic differences between the two are substantial, as Sicilian is practically its own language, rather than just a dialect.

Story
Il termine "Vaticano" evoca immediatamente l'immagine dell'immensa piazza antistante la basilica di San Pietro e il monumentale colonnato che l'abbraccia. Tra i fedeli cattolici evoca anche la finestra da cui il papa benedice la folla festante. Ma il Vaticano è molto di più. Stato di diritto tra i più piccoli al mondo, minuscola città dentro la vasta città di Roma, di cui ha condiviso le vicissitudini e di cui costituisce "l'altra faccia", ha una lunghissima storia, ricca di chiaroscuri e di personaggi più o meno limpidi.

Story
In the 18th century, Italy was still divided into smaller states but differently than during medieval times when the political entities were independent and were flourishing economic and cultural centers, almost unrivaled in Europe. The First Italian War of Independence chronicles the turbulent events that led to 1848, and how the revolutions of that year set Italy on the path to unification.

Story
La caduta dell'Impero Romano è stato un processo lento e complicato, iniziato - ben prima del sacco di Roma - con l'avvicinarsi ai confini di quelle stesse tribù che avevano invaso la Cina, e proseguito attraverso gli anni di Costantino e Teodosio. Comincia così per l'Italia un lungo periodo oscuro: le città vengono abbandonate, eserciti barbari percorrono il Paese depredandolo, devastandolo e seminando terrore. Fino al fatidico Anno Mille si susseguono secoli di ferro e di sangue, di lutti e di invasioni. È il momento più difficile da raccontare nella storia italiana.

Story
La extravagancia de Nerón se ha convertido en nada menos que legendaria. En su día, fue increíblemente destructiva para su pueblo, particularmente después del Gran Incendio de Roma, un incendio que incluso podría haber comenzado él. En lugar de acudir en ayuda de los diez distritos que habían sido dañados por el fuego, Nerón aprovechó el espacio extra para construirse un palacio dorado. Asesinó, entre otros, a su propia madre, su exmujer y su hermanastro. Además, fue un violador, abusó sexualmente de niños y fue un abusador brutal.

Il brigante Carmine Crocco, flagello della monarchia sabauda, durante la sua condanna all'ergastolo presso il carcere di Portoferraio si dedicò alla stesura delle sue memorie. Avrebbe potuto essere un onesto contadino timorato di Dio, con una moglie devota e figli affezionati, ma l'invasione piemontese e la caduta del Regno delle Due Sicilie serbavano per lui un destino diverso, un destino che rivive nelle pagine di questa straordinaria testimonianza.
