Specialist Notes

First edition of the complete collection of 16 volumes of the Italian historical archive. & nbsp; Ambitious historiographical collection, founded by G.P. Vieusseux and G. Capponi in Florence in 1842, which was born with the intention of arousing a national Italian sentiment free from localism. Still published today by the Tuscan Deputation of Homeland History, it preserves its documentary nature by collecting essays, conference reports, etc. concerning Italian history.
