The on-going debate on the legacies of European Orientalism has yet to fully consider its Italian context. This book is a literary and intellectual history both of the reception of European Orientalism in Risorgimento Italy, and of the birth and development of an Italian Orientalist expression in the post-unification and fascist periods.
