Naples in the Eighteenth Century: The Birth and Death of a Nation State (repost)

Naples in the Eighteenth Century: The Birth and Death of a Nation State By Girolamo Imbruglia
Publisher: Cambridge University Press 2000 | 216 Pages | ISBN: 0521631661 | DJVU | 1 MB

This volume of essays offers a series of new insights into the "age of the Enlightenment," not only in Italy but throughout Europe. In its political reforms, intended to attack feudalism and the Church and to modernize the economic and judicial systems, Naples was influenced by European culture. But Naples also exercised a strong influence on European culture: the discovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the musical culture of the city, had great importance in shaping the modern, enlightened culture of Europe.
