Pride of Lombardy, Lombard Landscapes, Milan Cathedral - Editalia

Pride of Lombardy is a self-explanatory title: it is the awakening, and in some ways the birth, of the Lombard conscience. That conscience contributed so much to the unification of Italy, so much to cementing old traditions with the industrial and technological progress that was already changing the face of Europe. But the primary value of this work lies in its live reporting, presenting the first-hand accounts of writers, historians, essayists, and chroniclers of the time. Each of these eminent figures comments on the journey and evolution of the Lombard conscience between the 18th and 19th centuries, reaching back to the Risorgimento, describing bitter struggles, brilliant and unprejudiced political adventures, traditions, customs, and habits, without neglecting satirical wit and poetic heights. This volume offers a documented history of the economic and social development of a region that, through the Habsburgs, the Cisalpine Republic, the Napoleonic Kingdom, and finally Italian Unification, played an irreplaceable role as a link between Italy and Europe. A fine collection of prints, engravings, plates, and historical documents completes the understanding of this justifiably proud region.
