Italian History: An Overview of Cities, Venetians, and Historic Sites

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Doug Greene

This is a 2-book combo, which contains these books:

1: Naples (or, in Italian, Napoli) is the local capital of Campania and Italy's third-largest city, after Rome and Milan, with a population of 967,069 people living within the city's administrative limits since 2017. With a population of 3,115,320 people, its province-level town is Italy's third-most inhabited urbane city, and its city periods for around twenty miles outside the city walls.

Naples, established by Greeks in the first millennium BC, is just one of the world's oldest constantly occupied cities.

On the isle of Megaride, a district, referred to as Parthenope, was established in the ninth century BC. It was re-founded as Neápolis in the sixth century BC.

Naples has a long history, all the way dating back to Roman times, the outbreak of the Vesuvius, and much more. Let’s learn more about this fascinating city’s history.

2: When we think of Venice, we think of masks, canals, murals and frescoes, and little “gondoliers” with picturesque boats. Venice, indeed, has an impressive artistic history. But did you know that Venice was also, for a while, a considerably-sized empire?

 

Although no enduring historic records associate with the creation of Venice, the Republic of Venice's history is typically said to start at 12 a.m. on Friday, March 25th, AD 421, when authorities from Padua established the city to develop a trading center in that area of northern Italy.

The creation of the Venetian republic is said to have accompanied the starting of the church of St. James at the exact same time. Still, the church (which is believed to be that of Saint Giacomo di Rialto) dates no earlier than the l lth century, and no after the mid-twelfth century.

Reviews for Italian History

[Javier Hershey · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Whenever you're fired up about something, you usually tell other people about it. So, that's what I'm doing too. I gained from this book. It was an eye-opener. I was wanting to discover more about this topic anyway, so it was no coincidence that I bumped into this book. I listened to it, and not to my surprise, it was exactly what I was looking for. Knowing so many new aspects of this concept was informing, to say the very least. It was a breath of fresh air. I really enjoyed it.
