Description

Italy, 1870-2010 (Capital: Rome) Modern Italian identity is founded on a repressed collective memory. The historical event that, more than any other, gave birth to italianita and, however precariously at first, but assuredly in retrospect, sealed the fate of Italy as a modern state--the once historic XX Settembre (September 20) commemorating the Breach of Porta Pia and the unification of Rome with Italy --has been forgotten. More than eighty years have passed since Italy last celebrated its own quatorze juillet and Fourth of July. The repression of the Italian foundation myth is not without irony. For more than half a century, from 1870 to 1927, no expense was spared in the nation's determination to enshrine the narrative of its own birth, both on the cityscape of Roma capitale (Capital Rome) and on the calendar, that majordomo of national autobiography.
