    Stereotypes of Italy abound; but what are the real histories behind the country whose unification was condemned by the Catholic church? The country that had to invent its language because nobody actually spoke Italian? The state that ran a monopoly on brothels until 1958? The people who invented Fascism—and then gave rise to the thinkers and fighters who defeated it? This class will explore the real histories behind il bel paese.
