Description

The goal of this course is to expose students to the contemporary Italian culture. The events of the 20th
century have shaped the modern character of this nation unlike other European countries. This modern
European culture whose democratic constitution was ratified on January 1, 1948 struggles to maintain
its unique multicultural traditions which are being assaulted by the pressures of Europeanization,
globalization and immigration.
