home search help worldguide ... Postcards 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 reigns 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 prospering in fits and starts, until overrun by the Turks in 1453.

HISTORY of ITALY A s a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands. The currently available evidences point out to a dominant Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultural influence on today's Italians. T he earliest human settlements within the territory of present-day Italy date almost certainly to the initial phase of the Quaternary era (Pleistocene). This period was characterized by frequent alternation in climatic conditions, with consequent phases of expansion and retreat in the Alpine and Apennine glaciers and relative variations in sea level. W ith the Iron Age Italy and her population practically enter the historical period. Until the end of 5th century A.D. Italy was dominated a number of tribes, and finally the Romans. The last hundred years of the Western Roman Empire, from the second half of the 4th century, 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. I t 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 Costantinople, founded by the emperor Constantine between 326-330 on the site of the ancient Greek colony of Byzantium.

Although currently unified under the government in Rome, the country is still divided into 20 distinct regions, each with its own landscape, history, dialects, artistic styles, foods and architecture. For many visitors, it is Italy's diversity that lends the country its most distinctive charms. In the past 100 years, Italy has gone from monarchy to parliamentary system to fascism to a seemingly unending series of coalition governments - an average of one a year since 1946. The political situation, however, appears to have stabilized a bit in recent years. After a half decade under the leftist Ulivo coalition, there has been a backlash to the right. In 2001, the country voted into power Silvio Berlusconi, the controversial media magnate and leader of the Forza Italia coalition.

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... ITALY Italy's forebears, the Romans, dominated the known Western world from about 500 years before Christ until the fifth century A.D. In the fourth century, the empire began to falter when it was divided between Rome and Byzantium. While the Byzantine empire strengthened, Rome suffered waves of barbarian assaults which led to its functional dissolution into small nobilities and independent cities. These city-states eventually achieved considerable power. Venice and Genoa came to control the seas, while Florence and Sienna became wealthy through agriculture and commerce. This wealth provided the underpinnings for the Renaissance which bloomed between the 13th and 15th centuries. The powers in Europe, including Austria, Spain, and France, all tried to extend their dominion to Italy. Napoleon set up a Kingdom of Italy (as a French satellite) but his death resulted in t return to the old situation with Austria dominating in the north. In the 19th century, nationalism began to stir and another Kingdom of Italy was brought about by Garibaldi and di Cavour in 1861. It was strong enough to take Venice from Austria and absorb the Papal States in 1870. Though the country was united in land, old divisions died hard: church and state, urban industry versus rural agriculture, north against south. In World War I, Italy joined the Allies but the cost was high: more than a million dead and immense suffering. The post-war period fostered the rise of Fascism, as Italians dealt with economic problems, fear of communism, and ineffectual government. Mussolini was invited by the king to take over the reins of government in 1922. He quickly became despotic. and joined with Hitler in the Axis. World War Ii was a disaster for Italy, which suffered from Allied attacks beginning in 1943. Mussolini was deposed in 1943 King Victor Emmanuel III ordered his arrest but Hitler saved him. Mussolini proceeded tos et up another Fascist regime in the north, while the south, having prudently switched sides, welcomed the Allied forces as liberators. In 1946, the country voted to abolish the monarchy but republican politics have brought an astonishing 50-plus governments to power since the end of the war. Only in the 1990s have significant political reforms been enacted to bring more stability and effectiveness to government.

var subscriber_p=0, user_id=0; Sign in Search Gallery Learn ... Community History by Philip Greenspun Home Travel Italy : History around 1200 BC At the end of the Trojan War, the noble Trojan Aeneas flees the burning city with his father on his back, his son holding his hand and his wife "following behind a bit." His wife having been lost in the shuffle, he sets sail without her and arrives in Carthage, which will eventually become Rome's rival for power in the Mediterranean. Aeneas relates his tale of marital irresponsibility to Queen Dido who promptly falls in love with him. The Gods force Aeneas to move on and, although he is allegedly a great warrior, Aeneas lacks the courage to tell Dido straight out that he has to leave. Dido throws herself on a sword as Aeneas sails over the horizon. Aeneas eventually arrives in Italy and kills a bunch of local folks. All of this is related by Virgil writing for the Emperor Augustus in around 27 BC. I recommend studying the classics. From reading Homer and Virgil, I have learned the following: (1) women don't listen (cf. Dido above), (2) men like women with blond hair and large breasts (Dido, Helen, and Iphigenie were all described as blondes; third prize in an athetic contest in the Aeneid is a bunch of "deep chested slave women"). 753 BC Legendary founding of Rome by Romulus and Remus. Romulus dares anyone to jump over the wall he just built, on pain of death. His brother Remus accepts the dare and is promptly beheaded. That's why we have Romans and not Remans.

Ancient Cominium has been recorded at some length, but the research on more recent history in the Comino Valley is lacking. Following Roman occupation, Vicalvi was dominated by the Longobardi until 856, under whose rule the Abbey of Montecassino was built, about 30 km South of Vicalvi. Vicalvi is built on a rock outcropping, its profile dominated by the imposing massive structure of the longobardo castle of the XII century. In the XVI century, during the war for dominance of the Italian peninsula, this impregnable fortress housed the troops of emperor Charles V during battle against Francis, the king of France. Its name derives from "Vicus Albus" that is white village, for the characteristic shade of its native sand. from "North of Naples, South of Rome"; by Paolo Tullio:
