Description
Luigi Barzini studies the Italians’ habits, vices, virtues, hopes, failures, and achievements, past, present, and future. He sets out to answer complex questions, such as why is the Italian Communist party the biggest in Europe, despite the country’s economic revival and its deep Catholicism? Are Italians immoral? What is the true state of the Mafia in Sicily? What was Mussolini really like? An Italian deeply immersed in politics, a deputy, a distinguished journalist, and a cosmopolitan, perceptive man, Barzini has written this book in English. It may well become the standard work on the Italians, particularly for travelers and students.
