HIS 315 Italy in War

For centuries, Italy has played an integral role in major wars from Greek and Roman battles to city-state rivalries to twentieth-century world wars. Students will travel through the Italian landscape to discover how war played a dramatic role in Italian history and culture. Over three periods—the Greek and Roman era, Renaissance era, and Fascist era—people debated, sometimes violently, questions about power, status, citizenship, and statehood. By overlaying three chronologies of war in each site (Sicily, Naples, Rome), students will engage in a multidimensional study to explore how war shaped a people and a place.
