Summary of John Hooper's The Italians

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Porta Pia is one of the least attractive corners of central Rome, but it brings together within a few hundred square meters tangible allusions to the bits of history of which Italians are proudest: the Roman Empire, the Renaissance, and the Risorgimento.

#2 Italy has a long and rich history, but the country is also home to many cultural treasures that are rarely seen by tourists. The majority of the people living in Italy today were not alive when the country was ruled by foreigners.

#3 Italy is a country that is divided by its geography. The majority of Italians live in the lowlands, while the majority of the country’s land is occupied by mountains.

#4 The southern mainland is extremely varied. Between Calabria and Puglia lies Basilicata, one of the most beautiful and least-known corners of Italy. The people of Basilicata are known for their physical and mental toughness.
