LA CALABRIA DELLA RASSEGNAZIONE vol II
(English: Calabria Resigned, Vol. II)
The research on this period is extended to the 1600s and 1700s, when
the county of the d’Aquino family expanded, and transformed itself into veritable
small state, which encompassed the two dioceses of Nicastro and Martirano almost
in their entirety.
UTOPIA
E RIVOLUZIONE IN CALABRIA
(English: Utopia and Revolution in Calabria)
This volume contains two complementary essays
by Vincenzo Villella: Church, Society and Communism in Calabria in the Post
World War II Period, and Implementation of C.E.C. Directives and the Struggle
Against Communism through the “Morality Cases” of the Bishop of Nicastro Eugenio
Giambro (1944-1949)

LA CALABRIA DELLA RASSEGNAZIONE vol III
(English: Calabria Resigned, Vol. III)
This study by
Vincenzo Villella emphatically rejects the thesis that the “Risorgimento” (or
“new emergence” of Italy) was a national conquest by all Italians in the north
as in the south. The “risorgimento” was, for the south, a missed revolution
because it denied the newly conquered values of liberty to the public as a whole,
to both the rich and poor, to the capitalists of the north and the peasant masses
of the south.

LA CALABRIA DELLA RASSEGNAZIONE vol I
(English: Calabria Resigned, Vol. I)
This is a historical-anthropological research study of a Calabrian
county--that of the d’Aquino family, barons of Martirano and princes of Castiglione--which
in the 1500s was the stage for a number of disconcerting events, from the
peasants’ revolt of 1513 to the abortive conspiracy of Tommaso Campanella.
