Florence, the vibrant city nestled in the heart of Tuscany, played a pivotal role in the mid-19th century as the capital of the newly formed Italian nation. This edited collection offers a comprehensive historical account of Florence during that era, delving into various aspects of politics, economics, culture, and society. Through its pages, readers gain a profound understanding of the impact that the brief but significant experience of becoming the political and administrative center of the Kingdom of Italy had on the Tuscan city.
The book explores the profound urbanizing changes that reshaped Florence's landscape, transforming its appearance and character. It sheds light on the introduction of various economic and cultural innovations that shaped the city's development and contributed to its growth and prosperity. Moreover, the volume delves into the crisis that ensued when the capital was eventually relocated to Rome, leading to the bankruptcy of the communality and the challenges Florence faced on its path toward modernity.
