    PROVISIONAL History 318-15A Italy: from the French Revolution to the Present University of Pennsylvania Spring Semester 2015 Monday and Wednesday 2.00-3.30 Instructor: Jonathan Steinberg Office: 206E College Hall Office hours: Wednesday 2.00 to 3.00 or by appointment Phone: 215 573 5449 e-mail: [email protected] The seminar looks at the evolution of modern Italy from the Napoleonic Era through the unification of the Kingdom in 1861, through its crisis in the First World War and the subsequent struggle for control of the new mass society. It looks at the emergence of the first fascist regime and the first modern dictatorship under Benito Mussolini; the rise and consolidation of that dictatorship, its descent into anti-semitism, defeat in war and the civil war of 1943-45, which followed that defeat. Out of that crisis a new prosperous republic has grown. It traces that story to the latest stage, the curious media dictatorship of Silvio Berlusconi, its collapse and the Euro crisis. Modern Italian history contains all the problems of modern Europe and some unique to it. Its culture through the pizza, the pasta and the fine consumer products has become world-wide, and its children live in large numbers in every major city in the world. One of the glories of modern Italian history has been the exceptional quality of its literature. Great fiction can form an alternative approach with which to gain insights into Italian history. Five works of literature and one remarkable piece of reportage on the Papacy have been put on a list as required reading.

Italy in the 19th and 20th Centuries – Writing Intensive This course will introduce students to the major political, cultural and social trends in Italy since the defeat of Napoleon. Within this broad overview three historical “problems” will be examined in depth. These are: 1) the place of the Risorgimento in Italian unification; 2) the rise and fall of Italian Fascism; and 3) the immigration waves of the past 3 decades and their impact on Italian identity. By analyzing these problems students should gain a command not only of the "names and dates" of modern Italian history but also come to understand the dynamics involved: the interplay of regional influences, the basic trends of continuity and change, and the role of the individual and of social forces. Required Texts: 1. Christopher Duggan, The Force of Destiny: A History of Italy Since 1796. 2. Carlo Levi, Christ Stopped at Eboli. (any edition) Expected Learning Outcomes: Skills: History as a discipline consists of analysis and expository writing. Consequently, the “writing intensive” aspect of this course is designed both to improve your general writing skills and to develop your ability to “do” history. Through engagement with controversial subjects and conflicting interpretations across primary sources and secondary texts, you will further develop your abilities to read and write critically and to recognize and question the political implications of history writing. Knowledge: You will learn to define some perhaps familiar political terms (for example, Liberalism, Republicanism, Fascism, Socialism, Communism, Christian Democracy) in the context of Italian politics.

Thomas) ABSTRACT This thesis will delve into the unfolding of the Italian Resistance, from an underground association to a militant organization, which aided and facilitated the Allied advance to northern Italy. Particular emphasis will be placed on the actions and consequences of the Resistance in rural Tuscany and their affect on the local population. It will examine the changing views of Italian society, from the immediate post-war era and the decades that followed, with a brief examination of the cinematographic influences on the social views. It will include the debate over who deserves a commemorative monument and the divided and changed memory regarding the Resistance. Finally, the author will examine the current debate over the most appropriate way to memorialize the complicated and tumultuous struggle to free Italy over sixty years ago.

  • The Jews of Italy
    The Jews of Italy: A Personal Reflection By Maria J. Falco, PhD After the booksigning (“It Happened in Italy”) an extraordinarily moving lecture by Elizabeth Bettina and that of one of the holocaust survivors, Ursula Korn-Selig, at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans on May 6, I began to wonder why everyone seemed surprised that Italians had saved over 30,000 Jews during the holocaust. After all, I, a student at a Catholic College in Pennsylvania over fifty years ago, had read Primo Levi’s book “Se questo e un huomo” (If this is a Man), later translated as “Survival at Auschwitz”, and even more appropriately, Carlo Levi’s book, “Cristo si e` fermato a Eboli”, (Christ Stopped at Eboli), during a class in Italian literature taught by a native Italian speaker. Primo had related how well he had been treated while at “internment” at Fossoli near Modena in northern Italy, and Carlo had described his treatment while in exile for being an “anti-fascist” in Lucania. Primo had, in fact, been spared imprisonment as an anti-fascist by revealing that he was a Jew, so that Fossoli was a much better outcome for him during the war than it was for those who were non-Jews. When I mentioned these two authors after the lecture, my comments were dismissed as somewhat irrelevant—after all, Bettina was describing only the events that had taken place at her Grandmother’s village based on a picture and some documents she had discovered when she had visited a few years back.

The idea behind the title as the main character narrates, is that all Christian values, all mercy from God and all of his abundance stopped at the Italian town of Eboli, After that we are south of there in the lands that God forgot, stony, arid and bare, with only a gash through the mud to pass for a road. This land is Luciana in southern Italy, away from the coast and the train line, after that there is the small bus which takes travellers to the small Medieval towns where only the occasional car, rifle, pair of spectacles, fedora or printed book show that some development has occurred since around the fifteenth century.

  • Regional Dualism in Christ Stopped at Eboli
    30 March 2009 Regional Dualism in Christ Stopped at Eboli 'No one has ever come to this land except as an enemy, a conqueror, or a visitor devoid of understanding.' -Carlo Levi, 1946. Throughout history, racism, sexism, and discrimination, in some fashion, make a mark on society, and in some cases, define the particular era. At some time in life, most people experience discrimination, usually at the hands of a race, gender, or culture that believes it is superior to another, thus choosing to oppress those considered less than equal. Carlo Levi’s novel, Christ Stopped at Eboli, is hardly an exception to this idea. In his novel, Levi recounts his experience as an anti-fascist political exile in Lucania, referred to as Gagliano by Levi and presently referred to as Basilicata, an impoverished region of southern Italy. In his year spent as a resident/political exile of the “instep of Italy”, Levi felt the overwhelming force that is oppression within the community. What sets Levi’s novel apart from other accounts of discrimination is the source of the oppression. The southern Italians did not experience discrimination from a delinquent country or power hungry race. In fact, the discrimination came from in-house, their fellow countrymen and neighbors to the north. When attempting to decipher which came first, discrimination or poverty, one cannot avoid entertaining the notion that the two hardships go hand-in-hand with one another, one facilitating the other and vice versa. “Interpretation of the causes of dualism has in the past frequently emphasized the South's internal weaknesses and obstacles to development, including the lack of resources and 'natural poverty'” (Spooner 12).

    HOLINESS THE JOURNAL OF WESLEY HOUSE CAMBRIDGE A reluctant Samaritan: reflections from Carlo Levi’s Christ Stopped at Eboli Gordon Leah DR GORDON LEAH publishes on matters of Christian belief reflected in literature. He is a retired languages teacher and Methodist local preacher. [email protected] Worcester, UK Carlo Levi, doctor, organist, painter and political activist, was exiled in 1935 by Mussolini to Lucania, a remote corner of southern Italy. I consider the enormous impact his skills made on the primitive life of the area, and how, when the peasants believed that ‘Christ stopped at Eboli’, the town north of their region, and no Christians or outsiders were interested in them, Levi gradually, through his immersion in their life with practical, undemonstrative service, gave them new hope. Finally I consider the vital importance of practical service as a true reflection of Christ’s active love for a world and for suffering people without other hope.

The city is characterized by the exceptional nature and the uniqueness of a “lunar landscape”, of a vast expanse of eerie beauty. The area was not always accessible for the same reasons, it became world famous for completely different reasons and specifically through the novel of a writer called Carlo Levi (Note 2). This particular author has left a strong mark on the history of Italian literature, although his work is not very rich. The place and the conditions of his new life as an exile in a poor isolated village of southern Italy, became the reason for the creation of his most important book entitled "Christ stopped at Eboli (Note 3). The book presents the rural south of Italy through its social condition, but not only as the result of an unbearable for the country archaic condition, but also as a place of existence of an important civilization. In this way the author’s narrative, as argued by Palmieri (2020), works as an objective account that is subjectively equated to a literary form.

  • Discovering the Ruins of Italy's Ionian Coast
    http://nyti.ms/1zTUY6L TRAVEL Discovering the Ruins of Italy’s Ionian Coast By HELENE STAPINSKI MARCH 6, 2015 It was my first day back in Metaponto in a decade, and I was anxious. As my train from Rome pulled into the station, after a six-hour descent past Vesuvius, the craggy Lucanian Dolomites, olive groves and pebbly streams, and finally the small hill towns and low, pale mountains (calanchi) of the Basilicata region, I wondered what had changed in this place since my last visit. My family was from this area originally, four generations back, and I had come here twice before to do genealogical research. But it had been a while. A friend met me at the station, grabbed my bag and immediately drove me around for the whirlwind mini-tour. The station, with a fresh coat of cream-colored paint, looked bright and inviting. But the small stone square and area around it had been abandoned mid-construction, resembling the nearby Greek ruins more than the modern welcoming point the planners had envisioned. My unofficial guide took me straight to some of the actual Greek ruins — the Tavole Palatine, the area’s most famous site. When we got to the gate, the ticket booth was closed. It wasn’t clear if it was just for lunch or forever. A rusted chain was pulled limply across a path leading to the columns in the distance, which stood gleaming in the October sun. We were about to leave disappointed when I looked again and saw that the iron gate leading to the ruins was wide open.
