City and Nation in the Italian Unification

This book is the study of the first national festival of modern Italy, the Sixth Centenary Festival of Dante Alighieri in 1865. The study consists of an historical reconstruction of the event based on the discovery of a mass of un-catalogued and unpublished documents left by the organizers. The narrative poses the Centenary as a platform upon which an alternative definition of Italian national identity emerged, one based on a longue dureeof Florentine Cultural nationalism that opposed the Piedmontese territorial nationalism.
