This anthology is centered around a compilation of term papers written
by students attending Italian Life and Culture; 1000 BC -1500
AD (Ital333) and Italian Life and Culture 1400 AD - Present (Ital334)
at the University of Maryland University College (European Division). Although not professional researchers/writers,
my classmates and I have an interest in sharing our research with
future students of the course (or similar courses elsewhere) and with the
internet community as a whole.
Additionally,
the timelines presented give a chronological
overview that will be useful to the student of Italian
History.
