And the fact that the persecution of Christians happened as a caprio espiatorio for the fire, is one of the unique evidences of how big Christianity was growing (even if was seen in a bad light, among all the various cults, because they believed human sacrifices were being made during their rites)

In realtà da quello che ho studiato parte delle riscoperta dei classici fu causata da intellettuali islamici.

All'epoca la metà meridionale della Calabria era compattamente di lingua greca e nella metà settentrionale c'erano molte isole linguistiche. Ovviamente nei monasteri di quella regione si parlava e scriveva in greco e così molte opere classiche sono state tramandate in Calabria. A testimonianza di questo nei pressi di Roma c'è l'abbazia di San Nilo, di lingua greca dal mille ma cattolica seppur di rito bizantino, fondata da monaci calabresi in fuga da incursioni saracene. Poi anche gli arabi hanno la loro importanza.

in Europa nel medioevo, il vaticano avevo il totale controllo delle opere scritte, quelle proibite venivano messe all'Indice, nessuno poteva accedervi. Paradossalmente l'allora cultura araba e ottomana erano più tolleranti nei confronti delle diverse culture nei loro regni, non c'era certo l'uguaglianza come la intendiamo oggi, ma c'era un certo grado di tolleranza: ciò permise la diffusione e la protezione di molte opere scritte della cultura classica greco-romana, che attraverso le crociate e il periodo successivo permise il rientro in Europa di una grande quantità di conoscenze che la Chiesa di Roma controllava e vietava. Dopotutto dobbiamo ricordare che alcuni crociati passavano anche più della metà della loro vita nei territori arabo ottomani. Anche il commercio portuale svolse un ruolo notevole comunque.

Simply after several combined factors ( civil war , bad weather and several huge plague that spread across the country ) Rome doesn’t have anymore citizens and they integrate entire tribe in areas inhabited and these tribes realizing that Rome doesn’t have the strength to fight back in case of rebellion start creating they own empire inside the empire … later on what remain of those tribes (art , laws , politics and language) is very little mostly they try to be Roman’s but they can’t and the result are the actual European countries …

Oh, there's also this documentary about Italian-americans if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmilnKmwmNqEptE

The collapse of the Roman empire is also due to the fact that Italy stopped expanding, they were not interested in Asia and the northern barbarians, but in doing so they no longer had gold to pay for the soldiers and the migration to the empire contributed. to make matters worse, this I believe was the real cause of the collapse of the Roman Empire. Then came the Arabs who brought the number zero, the Arabs didn't know what to do with it, the Italians gave us the percentages and then the first banks. In general, the success of the Roman Empire is to take the best sides of each people without destroying them, it was a cultural ascent, the other conquered peoples learned Roman culture and became Romans. Romania, for example, changed its name after being culturally conditioned by the Roman troops who settled there for 30 years. The Italians are not imperialists by nature, precisely because of the enormous basic culture that has made the history of the West, if not of the whole world in part .... and it is not strange that the barbarians of the north are imperialist peoples, see the Germany. The whole West is the son of Greek and Roman culture. Today, however, Italy is crushed by the EU and Washington, Germany wanted to reunify, France proposed the euro in exchange for its reunification ... but to do this it was necessary to deindustrialize Italy, Italy today is a country in chains and Italians underestimate their greatness.

The normans came to south Italy from Normandy ( France ) not from scandinavia, and their language is french.

[@merydoesstuff]

Normans means "north men" and was a synonym of Norsemen, since both the Great Heathen Army and Rollo's Normans came form Scandinavia

[@aldocuneo1140]

@@merydoesstuff Right, but the ones Who conquered Sicily came from Normandie, France, the leaders were two brothers Roger and Robert AKA le guiscard, the astute,their family name id Hauteville Guichard, in italian Altavilla. Their langue was French d'oil. The normans you speak settled in north France 3 centuries before the events here in question.

[@aldocuneo1140]

From Normandie they moved toward Britain. Guillem AKA William I plantageneta the conqueror. And up to 1400, king Henry IV, the langue at court was French. Nobody there spoke english, May be with servants.

This is why we call the mediterranean sea "Mar Nostrum"... we conquered all the territories around it.

Idk what this guy is talking about in that animation, but Hitler held Mussolini in high regard. And the Communist Party was the second largest political party of Italy after World War II. With peak support reaching 2.3 million members, in 1947, and peak share being 34.4% of the vote in the 1976 general election. During the Cold War, it was the largest communist party in the West.

Minute 6:15... Stating to the latest studies about Nero, made by the historians, it seems that Nerone was not so bad, and the fact that he set Rome ablaze and was a bad one should be ascribed to the catholics and christians came after him...

8:12 alla fine l'esercito veniva pagato con delle terre in poche parole Roma era un impero / regione in cui a base c'era l'esercito e chi faceva parte del esercito come "premio" per la fine della guerra davano terre soldi ecc quindi così entravano a fare parte anche la plebe che era la classe più povera perché così anche quella classe poteva risollevarsi :'^ (PS se o sbagliato a dire qualcosa siate liberi di dirmelo :'] e grazie se lo fate :') )

[@jorge_channel1674]

No. Etruscans were (probably but not sure) native italian, in the sense of they were from italian peninsula. The greeks in the south they were not native, they came from Greece. In the south the had colonies so Magna Greece it mean great Greece.

This animated video it's too general, there are a lot of more information about Italy. I'm Italian and you never believe me, but Italy was the center of culture, art, law, inventions, language for ages

[@ChristianLomak]

It’s so strange for me to think that in USA you are interested in the history of my country! I suggest you to do some research about the connection between Italian mafia in Italy and in USA. Have you ever wondered why Americans started to free Italy from Sicily in the end of WW2? Look who was Lucky Luciano and you’ll get the answer! Ps: one another amazing chapter about Italian history is our ‘70! Italy risked to become a communist country and “hidden powers” avoided it in the most tragic ways!

[@TrangDB9]

The river is called Po

[@ZioFrankekko]

The video Is actually very rushed and Is full of mistakes but It Is nice to see people interested in our history

[@ZioFrankekko]

Also It skipped all the religious part of history with (like It or not) Is a VERY important part of all the european history in general

[@andredefra64]

so if you are a bit more curious, you should see sardinian history! We had the first head of state as a woman (eleonora d'arborea) which was the ruler of Giudicates which was a federation of states (like USA) ruled by one, if not the first one, state constitution ever with courts of law etc. Amazing history, and also, Sardinia was the basis from which the Italian state and monarchy was born

[@tommasovantaggiato8935]

The video is okay but skips too much , century of history containing great historical characters like Fedric II skipped like this make me sad

[@Artstronaut]

it’s more than 2000 years of history condensed there, a bit difficult to follow

What the history books don't say is that Nero wasn't even in Rome when it caught fire. He was blamed, but historically it is incorrect. Furthermore, Nero saved several lives during an earthquake near Naples, when he was in a theater, not making anyone move even if they were in total panic. The one exit to that theater was too narrow, and many would have died in the debris. By staying where they were, they saved themselves. (I speak from a person who was born and raised in Rome). Rome has a very vast history, also made up of myths and legends ... For example, the brothers Romulus and Remus, were orphans and are said to have been raised by a she-wolf, in fact in the emblems of Rome there is always a she-wolf. Furthermore, our national animal is the wolf (although unfortunately it is almost extinct), precisely for this reason.

[@ave92me]

there are a tons of inaccuracies and false myth on those videos however.

[@cinziaventuroli3167]

obviously you can not summarize the history of Italy in 26 min video. Even with the best intention. We are talking about the most complex country for geopolitical events, probably in the world. Caio Giulio Cesare for a lot of ppl , was the father of the western civilitation. His tomb it is visited by thousands of people from all over Europe. Modern Italy is a land of border ,not free at all with so much pressure from outsides country. Economy , production , colture ,politics in general are in the hands of strong powers and not free to shine. A country deliberately kept in regression..the lobbies have turned us into an oligarchy. A country continuously plundered of typical national products, just check what i say . We don't feel so loved by allied governments, sad but true.

A quanto ne so io è successo, non sono stati banditi o cose del genere; ma de Gasperi ha fatto cadere il governo e da lì in poi il PCI è stato sempre all'opposizione, soprattutto a causa della guerra fredda (non ricordo tutti i dettagli, ma di recente ho dato un esame di storia contemporanea)
