Fair Italy, the land of song and cradle of the Arts, has been so often written about, and so well described both in prose and in verse, that I feel there is a presumption in my attempting to say anything fresh of that classic land, its art treasures, and its glorious past. But within the last few years a new Italy has sprung into existence--the dream of Cavour has been realized; and, contrary to all predictions, she has evinced a union and cohesiveness so complete as to surprise all, and possibly disappoint some who were jealous of her.

The book is conceived as a journey through the Italy of research, through successive meetings with each of the researchers. The author of the book acts as the connecting link, bringing together the different stories, asking questions and reflections, jotting down ideas and impressions of places and people. The author also serves as a spectator and protagonist, being himself in search of something during this journey. Various cities are touched upon during the year-long journey, including Rome, Trieste, Milan, Lodi, Naples, Turin, Cosenza, Bologna, Bari and Padua, which are the background of the encounters. The stories of these researchers are extrapolated by following a dialogic form and emphasizing, from time to time, different aspects so as to form a complete picture especially on what drives a person to take the path of research and what are the underlying motivations and possible successes of applications and studies. These stories tell about "normal" people, and all the people involved in the book have a common generational trait, being mostly born in the mid-1970s, so a generation of 30-35 year olds will be discussed. The ten stories cover different fields, not only at the level of the scientific or medical field, and highlight different paths of growth, so not only "pure" researchers (academic and university field) will be talked about, but also those who work in industry as employees or those who have founded a business.

The Unity Of Italy, Which The Statesmen Of Europe And All Save A Small Number Of The Italians Themselves Still Regarded As An Utopia When It Was On The Verge Of Accomplishment, Was, Nevertheless, Desired And Foreseen By The Two Greatest Intellects Produced By The Italian Race. Dante Conceived An Italy United Under The Empire, Which Returning From A Shameful Because Self-Imposed Exile Would Assume Its Natural Seat In Rome. To Him It Was A Point Of Secondary Interest That The Imperial Lord Happened To Be Bred Beyond The Alps, That He Was Of Teutonic, Not Of Latin Blood. [mehr]

The unity of Italy, which the statesmen of Europe and all save a small number of the Italians themselves still regarded as an utopia when it was on the verge of accomplishment, was, nevertheless, desired and foreseen by the two greatest intellects produced by the Italian race. Dante conceived an Italy united under the Empire, which returning from a shameful because self-imposed exile would assume its natural seat in Rome. To him it was a point of secondary interest that the Imperial Lord happened to be bred beyond the Alps, that he was of Teutonic, not of Latin blood. If the Emperor brought the talisman of his authority to the banks of the Tiber, Italy would overcome the factions which rent her, and would not only rule herself, but lead mankind. Vast as the vision was, Dante cannot be called presumptuous for having entertained it. The Rome of the Caesars, the Rome of the Popes, had each transformed the world: Italy was transforming it for a third time at that moment by the spiritual awakening which, beginning with the Renaissance, led by inevitable steps to the Reformation. The great Florentine poet had the right to dream that his country was invested with a providential mission, that his people was a chosen people, which, by its own fault and by the fault of others, had lost its way, but would find it again. Such was Dante's so-called Ghibelline programme--less Ghibelline than intensely and magnificently Italian. His was a mind too mighty to be caged within the limits of partisan ambitions. The same may be said of Machiavelli. He also imagined, or rather discerned in the future, a regenerate Italy under a single head, and this, not the advancement of any particular man, was the grand event he endeavoured to hasten. [mehr]

"Traduced by malice, persecuted by fiction, abandoned by false patrons, and overwhelmed by the sense of a domestic calamity," Tobias Smollett set off on a journey through France and Italy to relieve his despair. While there, he wrote regularly to his friends, and the result is this fascinating, wholeheartedly personal account of places and he encountered. Travels through France and Italy is a landmark work in travel literature. Full of prejudice, grousing, sharp observation, and caustic satire, it is the first travel book in modern literature to go beyond the simple conveyance of information to reflect the writer's state of mind.
