Description
An account of the resource
‘A man who has not been in Italy, is always conscious of an inferiority, from his not having seen what it is expected a man should see.’ - Dr Samuel Johnson
Italy – what dreams and romantic longings the name conjures up. Florence, Venice, Rome – landmarks of European history and civilization. The country of Caesar, Cicero, Horace, and Virgil: the land which gave birth to Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Dante, Ariosto, and Tasso. The list would be endless if it also encompassed ‘modern’ day celebrities such as Giuseppe Verdi, Enrico Fermi, Sofia Loren, Giorgio Armani, Dino Zoff (considered the best goalkeeper in the history of football), and the controversial Silvio Berlusconi.
Renowned for its architecture, its complex historical past, its literature, fashion, and cuisine, Italy is now sub-divided into 20 regions, where most speak Italian (a Florentine variety of Tuscan). Viva l’Italia: A Regional Romp through Italy is an exhibition that is constructed around images of Italian cities from a 17th century copy of Pietro Bertelli’s Theatro delle Citta d’Italia (1629). By utilising these images, the viewer ‘romps’ through the various regions of the country from Piedmont in the north, to Puglia in the southeast, Sardinia in the west, and Sicily in the southwest. The Republic (formed in 1946) encompasses some 301,338 kilometres. By necessity coverage is selective, an overview that covers most regions, not all cities, and not all facets of this richly diverse country.
Most of the Italian books in this exhibition are from the collections of Esmond de Beer and Charles Brasch, which are housed in Special Collections. Both men thoroughly enjoyed what Italy offered to the world; we are grateful for their passion. Forza Italia!

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘This land resembles no other place. Sardinia is something else. Enchanting spaces and distances to travel - nothing finished, nothing definitive. It is like freedom itself.’ So said D. H. Lawrence, as he and his wife Frieda (Queen Bee or ‘q.b’ in the text) travelled through the island in January 1921, visiting Cagliari, Mandas, Sorgono, and Nuoro. This travel book details rural Italy at its best, before industrialization. Lawrence, that grumpy Nottinghamshire writer, is also at his best. Whether hiding under a tarpaulin from the heat, or describing the chanting voices of a procession in Nuoro, he captures the essence of the island and its people. He called Cagliari a ‘white Jerusalem’. The illustrations are by Jan Juta

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This ‘new’ atlas of 1794 by John Ainslie reveals Sardinia’s physical proximity to the mainland of Italy, and to Corsica, its nearest neighbour, 11 kilometres away. Because Sardinia (or Sardegna) was under the control of Spain for some 400 years, many Spanish customs still feature, including the speaking of Catalan and May-day parades in Cagliari. Sardinian (<em>Sardu</em>) is the mostly widely spoken language, alongside Italian. Importantly, Sardinia is constitutionally autonomous, having the right to create its own laws and to carry out its own regional administrative functions. The other four Italian ‘home-rulers’ are: Sicily, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Aosta Valley and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The regional capital of Sardinia is Cagliari. The city – one of the hottest and most arid in Italy – is in the south of the island, on a hill area overlooking the Golfo degli Angeli (‘Bay of Angels’). The Castello, the old part of town, is still there, along with a Roman amphitheatre, a cathedral (completed 1312), and two early 14th-century white limestone towers: the Torre di San Pancrazio and the Torre dell’Elefante, which was constructed by the Pisans in 1307. Both towers are positioned in the Baedeker at C3.
