Debating Divorce in Italy
The popular referendum of 1974 which affirmed Italy's recently-won divorce law is widely regarded as a turning point in modern Italian history, but the long story behind that struggle has remained largely unfamiliar.

A Political History of National Citizenship and Identity in Italy, 1861–1950
This book examines the fascinating origins and the complex evolution of Italian national citizenship from the unification of Italy in 1861 until just after World War II.

It invites the reader to compare the Italian experiences with other European ones, such as French, British, and German citizenship traditions.
