This book explores the role of Mediterranean imaginaries in one of
the preeminent tropes of Italian history: the formation or 'making
of' Italians. While previous scholarship on the construction of
Italian identity has often focused too narrowly on the territorial
notion of the nation-state, and over-identified Italy with its
capital, Rome, this book highlights the importance of the
Mediterranean Sea to the development of Italian collective
imaginaries. From this perspective, this book re-interprets key
historical processes and actors in the history of modern Italy, and
thereby challenges mainstream interpretations of Italian collective
identity as weak or incomplete. Ultimately, it argues that
Mediterranean imaginaries acted as counterweights to the
solidification of a 'national' Italian identity, and still
constitute alternative but equally viable modes of collective
belonging.
