"This book narrates the first national celebration of united Italy,
the Sixth Centenary of Dante Alighieri in May 1865. Denominated
alternatively as a national, European, and secular festa, the
affair materialized as an eclectic Italian monument with
extraordinary political, social and cultural significance. The
Centenary was a platform upon which an alternative definition of
Italian identity emerged, one based on a Florentine cultural
nationalism that opposed the Savoyard territorial nationalism. An
stunningly popular event celebrated throughout Italian civil
society, the festa was conceived, organized, and strategically
promoted from a municipal center, the city of Florence. Its
Florentine organizers successfully wrote the story of the Centenary
as a parable of the Florentine son, Dante, who fathered the Italian
nation as well as king Victor Emmanuel himself"--
