My blog, Passato e Presente, is an online database of articles, essays, and book reviews that discuss or reference topics and issues related to Italian history. My goal is to provide fellow scholars, as well as lay readers, with a resource with which to engage in discussions and debates on topics where Italy's many, often intertwining pasts and present collide. All readers are invited to both comment on and submit articles to the blog for administrative review and, if approved, inclusion (see form below).
