The present volume focuses on the interaction between the social processes and spatial forms that shape the identity of Italian cities. Using both canonical and less well-known texts along with cultural artifacts, the essays in the volume deprovincialize the Italian city, interpreting the material and symbolic practices that have made it into a unique entity whose enduring influence extends far outside Italy. 410 0$aSpatial imageries in historical perspective ;$vVolume 4. 606 $aCities and towns$zItaly$xHistory 615 0$aCities and towns$xHistory. 676 $a307.76 702 $aScapolo$b Andrea 702 $aPorcarelli$b Angela 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825520803321 996 $aInterpreting Urban Spaces in Italian Cultures$93919262 997 $aUNINA
