About the lecture

In this module we think about what Italy was like in the late 18th century, focusing in particular on its division into several constituent states (e.g. Papal States, Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Republic of Venice), the extent to which different sections of society believed in a national Italian identity, the importance of the pope as both a temporal and spiritual leader, and the various political systems – Kingdoms, Republics, Duchies, etc. – found across the country.

About the lecturer

Dr David Laven is Associate Professor in History at the University of Nottingham. His principal interests lie in the field of Italian history from the late eighteenth century to Fascism, with a particular interest in nineteenth-century Venice and its mainland.
