"История Рима" Теодора Моммзена уже давно стала достоянием науки. Этот энциклопедический труд, переведенный на все основные европейские языки, был впервые опубликован в России еще в 1858 году, в трех объемистых томах. А полвека спустя из печати вышел сокращенный вариант, подготовленный историком Н. Д. Чечулиным. В таком виде эта книга, нисколько не утратившая своих достоинств, стала доступна всем, кого интересует история европейской цивилизации.

Al congresso socialista di Livorno del 1921 il patriarca del riformismo italiano Filippo Turati partecipa nelle vesti dell’imputato principale. Quando la maggioranza dei delegati si rifiuta di espellerlo dal PSI assieme ai suoi compagni, come pretende la neonata Terza Internazionale, i delegati comunisti abbandonano i lavori per dare vita al loro partito. Durante quel congresso Turati, nel suo memorabile discorso, non si limita a difendere la sua concezione del socialismo ma, rivolto ai seguaci di Lenin, si concede una profezia.

Вечный город! "Вечным" его называли еще в I веке до нашей эры, когда ему было около семисот лет. Столица Италии неумолимо приближается к празднованию своего 2800-летия, которое состоится в апреле 2047 года. В наше стремительное время существуют обзорные экскурсии "Весь Рим за один день". Но провести в Риме всего день и что-то понять невозможно — все равно, что выучить за день весь курс высшей математики. Не обольщайтесь и не будете разочарованы. Рим открывается не сразу и открывается только сведущим. Открывается и затягивает.

Il futuro di una volta era migliore, oppure si guardava a esso con più ottimismo? Quali erano le condizioni di vita quando il futuro era più roseo? Se oggi il futuro appare peggiore, dobbiamo disperare, o consolarci pensando che viviamo molto meglio di ieri? Dobbiamo rallegrarci di vivere in un Paese pacifico e libero, dove lo Stato si dà carico del benessere dei cittadini e li assicura nei confronti di molti rischi, dove tutti possono fruire dei benefici del progresso tecnologico, che fa parte della ristretta schiera delle nazioni sviluppate?

Il 20 settembre 1870 è appena passato. Roma è stata eletta capitale del Regno d’Italia, lo Stato Pontificio non esiste più, il potere temporale dei papi è un ricordo, anche se molto vivo. La città eterna si appresta a scrivere un nuovo, rocambolesco capitolo della sua storia. È un periodo di cambiamento che suscita speranze e illusioni, ma anche paure e rifiuti. Cavour, Azeglio e altri grandi attori del Risorgimento sono già scomparsi, seguiti, nel giro di pochi anni, da Mazzini, Vittorio Emanuele II, Pio IX. Garibaldi è l’ultimo ad andarsene.

In 1967, veteran travel writer Eric Newby and his heroic wife, Wanda, fulfilled their dream of a return to life in the Italian hills where they first met during World War II. But this fulfillment would not come easy. The dream materialised in the form of I Castagni ('The Chestnuts'), a small, decrepit farmhouse with no roof, an abandoned septic tank and its own indigenous wildlife reluctant to give up their home. But in the foothills of the Apuan Alps on the border of Liguria and Northern Tuscany, this ramshackle house would soon become a hub of love, friendship and activity.

Nel 1985 prende il potere in Urss un gruppo riformatore dalla volontà chiara ma dalle idee confuse. La prima è figlia della consapevolezza dell'innegabile degrado del sistema sovietico. Le seconde, generate invece dall'arretratezza e dal provincialismo culturali, sono però compensate da un alto profilo morale, simboleggiato dalla rinuncia a usare la forza. Nel 1988 la crisi si aggrava, e nei paesi in cui il sistema sovietico è frutto di imposizione si comincia a credere alle parole di diniego della forza, confermate dal ritiro dall'Afghanistan.
