Italian Culture in America
At the onset of the American Revolution, Britain's North American colonies sought political independence but remained culturally dependent upon Europe. Jefferson believed that the genesis of liberty followed a path from Ancient Rome, through the Italian Renaissance and Enlightenment, and toward a progressive future for the new American nation.While Jefferson's affinity for Italy is well known, studying his role in assimilating Italian culture into the American project is a new venture. Among the many vast contributions of Thomas Jefferson, one of the most celebrated Founding Fathers, was a continuing admiration and lifelong affinity for all things Italian.
Ralph Giordano's innovative new book will certainly appeal to those interested in American History and America's emergence as Surveying Jefferson as an Italophile reveals a wide spectrum of cultural appreciation.
