History and Geography of Contemporary Italy

The course aims to provide students with basic knowledge of the contemporary history and geography of Italy. Such a temporal and spatial approach is useful from a learning perspective to understand the main historical and territorial processes of contemporary Italy and to provide the tools to introduce foreign students to Italy's complex material and immaterial heritage.

At the end of the course the student must have acquired the capacity to interpret the Italian territory and heritage from a historical-geographical point of view, as well as having developed the ability to recognise the different Italian historical-territorial structures.
