Description - From Caesar to the Mafia by Luigi Barzini
Luigi Barzini (1908-1984) was one of the great cultural historians of modern Italy. This volume brings together his finest essays, roughly half of them appearing for the first time in the English language. Topics discussed include the deep Italian roots of Julius Caesar, Casanova's contribution to the art of living big, and Camillo Cavour's contribution to a democratic as well as integrated nation. Barzini seeks to make Italian culture come alive, whether he is dealing with heroes or villains, and never loses sight of the cultural undertow of how Italy became a distinct nation.
