(programma)
The module focuses on the connections between the main events of European History and the social, institutional and cultural history of Rome during the Early Modern and Modern Age. The political and social use of urban space (holy places, "polycentrism" of court and curia) as well as the cultural construction of the "Mith of Rome" from the tradition of the "Grand Tour" will be investigated also through guided tours. Particular attention will be devoted to recent interpretations of the Modern Papal State, also through appropriate reading, in-class presentations and written exercises.
