DESCRIPTION:Throughout the Twentieth Century\, Italy has struggled with t
 he imperative of becoming a modern Nation-State. This lecture will focus
  on some key historical and political junctions – such as World War One\
 , the Fascist Regime\, and the economic boom from the late 1950s to the 
 late 1960s.\n\nJoin Professor Francesca Billiani for a fascinating discu
 ssion of how diverse political processes of modernization have elicited 
 responses in architecture\, the visual arts\, and literature – with exam
 ples of the unstable link between aesthetic experimentations and politic
 al transformations\, and illustrations of how they interrogate our perce
 ption of history.\n\nEvent details:\n\n4.15pm – welcome drinks \n5pm to
