"Date. tra lunghe transizioni e giornate particolari. Appunti sulla periodizzazione della storia d´Italia"
The article overviews main turning points in Italian history according to some recent scholarly works and it stresses the multiple perspectives and conflicting memories marking the very origins of the politically unified peninsula. Matching individual memoirs and perceptions of epochal changes with official institutional dating, “classical” break dates from Liberal and Fascist Ages – such as 1870, 1915, 1940, 1943 – are taken into account, as well as the crucial chronology in the building of Republican Italy. Social-economic revolutions as the one of the 1960s and the dramatic events belonging to the 1970s are considered. A structural trend based on long transitions and patterns of public commemoration initiatives and narratives are briefly outlined.
