Описание: The great powers of medieval Europe fought continuously in the Italian peninsula between the 12th and 14th centuries as they sought to expand their territory. Invading armies from Germany - the Holy Roman Empire - saw the creation of the defensive Lombard League of northern Italian city-states. These struggles resulted in conflicts between rival confederacies, which in turn proved to be the catalysts for developments in organisation and tactics.
Italian urban militias became better organised and equipped, the Imperial armies went from being mostly German to multi-national forces, and both sides became reliant on mercenary forces to prosecute their wars. After the 1260s, France, relying mainly on armoured cavalry, and Spain, with their innovative light infantry, vied for control of southern Italy. On the seas, the great naval powers of Genoa, Pisa and Venice became fierce rivals, as they created great trading empires, bringing the treasures of the east into feudal Europe.
Using detailed colour plates, this beautifully illustrated book describes the myriad of armies and navies that fought for control of Italy in the Middle Ages.

Описание: Forged on the battlefields of France, Greece and North Africa, the Italian Army's armoured units fought effectively despite inferior weapons and equipment and the challenging conditions that they facedThis book describes the formation and battle performance of the major armoured units such as the Ariete, Littorio and Centauro divisions together with lesser known special forces such as the motorized X Arditi Regiment and the Raggruppamenti Esploranti, or special reconnaissance units.It traces their development during the 1930s to then focus on their combat experience in France, Greece, Albania, Yugoslavia, East Africa, North Africa, and Sicily.

Camicie Nere (M Blackshirts Armoured division) of 1943 which was fully equipped with German supplied tanks and self propelled guns. Covering the period between 1940 to 1943, the book reconstructs the history of these units by relying on their war diaries, official histories and other rare archival documents. In some cases, the book also draws from Allied or German archive documents.It is illustrated throughout with rare wartime photographs, maps and detailed descriptions of their formation, training, tactics, weapons and armour.
Описание: In The History of Italian Marxism, Paolo Favilli offers an articulated analysis of the different levels at which Marx's ideas - and 'Marxism' as a doctrinal 'system' - were received in Italy from the time of the First International up till the eve of the First World War.Rejecting any linear understanding of the relation between Marx's texts and the assumption of Marxism as the ideology of the burgeoning workers' movement, Favilli explores the growth of different forms of Marxist culture through the period of the Paris Commune, the late-nineteenth-century debate on 'revisionism', and the rise of revolutionary syndicalism.Asking in each case whether 'Marxism' meant a science, an ideology, a way of doing politics, a utopia, a myth or a religion, Favilli goes on to assess which of these 'Marxisms' died with, and which have survived, the 'crisis' at the end of the twentieth century. With a new preface to the English edition. First published in Italian as Storia del marxismo italiano: dalle origini alla grande guerra, FrancoAngeli s.r.l. Milan, 1996.

Описание: This book explores the contributions of Italian Americans employed by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. Italian Americans fluent in Italian language and customs became integral parts of intelligence operations working behind enemy lines. These units obtained priceless military information that significantly helped defeat the Axis. They parachuted into frozen mountains tops to link up with Italian guerilla units in northern Italy or hovered in small patrol torpedo boats and row boats across the Mediterranean Sea in pitch black darkness to destroy railroad junctions.

Описание: Come tutta la stampa «di regime» anche Legioni e Falangi. Rivista d’Italia e di Spagna / Legiones y Falanges. Revista mensual de Italia y de Espana (1940–1943), pubblicata tra Roma e Madrid, puo leggersi come una narrazione univoca degli avvenimenti di quegli anni attraverso le immagini e i testi che la componevano. Come una sorta di koine culturale fascista, la rivista attuava una politica – anche linguistica – basata sugli ideali e i valori identitari ostentatamente condivisi dai due totalitarismi. Grazie a una visione trasversale di entrambe le edizioni, i saggi in italiano e in spagnolo contenuti in questo volume analizzano la rivista, ricalcandone il bilinguismo, come un esempio paradigmatico delle relazioni politiche e culturali tra l’Italia fascista e la Spagna del primo Franchismo, ma soprattutto come uno strumento d’informazione e di formazione propagandistica in cui la costruzione del discorso – ma anche il racconto, l’immagine fotografi ca e la «settima arte» – convergono per sostenere l’immediatezza del messaggio ideologico. Como toda prensa «de regimen» tambien Legioni e Falangi. Rivista d'Italia e di Spagna / Legiones y Falanges. Revista mensual de Italia y de Espana (1940 – 1943), que se publico paralelamente entre Roma y Madrid, puede leerse como una narracion uniforme de los acontecimientos de la epoca gracias a las imagenes y a los textos que la componian. Lugar privilegiado donde se reunia lo mas destacado de la cultura y de la politica de ambos paises, gracias al bilinguismo y a la traduccion en la revista se concretaba una politica – tambien linguistica- basada en los ideales y en los valores aparentemente compartidos por los dos totalitarismos. Desde un enfoque polifacetico que abarca ambas ediciones, los ensayos in italiano y en espanol recogidos en este volumen estudian la revista Legioni e Falangi/Legiones y Falanges no solo como un modelo de las relaciones culturales y politicas entre la Italia fascista y la Espana de la posguerra, sino tambien como uno de los medios de informac ion y formacion propagandistica donde todo contribuia a reafirmar el mensaje ideologico y su pronta recepcion.
Описание: Rather than considering the Risorgimento and Italy`s national unification as the defining events of the period, this work provides an alternative focus, rejecting sweeping conclusions in favour of a more nuanced analysis.
