Modern Italian historiography has undergone a substantial revision
in the last quarter of a century. From an almost exclusive focus on
the process of nation-building, the attention of historians has
shifted. The most innovative research is now devoted to assessing
to what extent the cosmopolitan attitude that was evident in the
late eighteenth century morphed, but did not disappear, in the
ensuing two centuries. The essays in this volume make the case that
the age of nations had a profound impact on Italian history and
contributed to the creation of an Italian identity within the
framework of well-functioning imperial and global networks. They
also acknowledge that the process of national individualization
carried with it a variety of aspects that reconnected Italian
history to the foreign cultures that were undergoing constant
self-fashioning. Cosmopolitan Italy in the Age of Nations:
Transnational Visions from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century
will be of interest to scholars throughout the world and
intellectual and transnational historians.
