Summary:	This book is the study of the first national festival of modern Italy, the Sixth Centenary Festival of Dante Alighieri in 1865. The first national congregation of Italian civil society as well as ideological factions from the recently united cities and provinces, Dante Centenary was denominated alternatively as a national, European, and secular festa, which ultimately materialized as an eclectic Italian monument with extraordinary political, social and cultural significant. The study consists of an historical reconstruction of the event based on the discovery of a mass of un-catalogued and unpublished documents left by the organizers. The narrative poses the Centenary as a platform upon which an alternative definition of Italian national identity emerged, one based on a longue du�re of Florentine Cultural nationalism that opposed the Piedmontese territorial nationalism.

Denominated alternatively as a national, European, and secular festa, the affair materialized as an eclectic Italian monument with extraordinary political, social and cultural significance. The Centenary was a platform upon which an alternative definition of Italian identity emerged, one based on a Florentine cultural nationalism that opposed the Savoyard territorial nationalism. An stunningly popular event celebrated throughout Italian civil society, the festa was conceived, organized, and strategically promoted from a municipal center, the city of Florence. Its Florentine organizers successfully wrote the story of the Centenary as a parable of the Florentine son, Dante, who fathered the Italian nation as well as king Victor Emmanuel himself"--
