Very good high level view.

I am on my way to Italy and wanted to know more if it’s history. I did not want too much detail. This book was the perfect answer.

Excellent concise history of Italy

Excellent albeit brief history of Italy. Touches on everything from the Etruscans to Mussolini with a lot of detail about Rome and it’s leaders.

Excellent summary of Roman history

Overall a broad, albeit superficial, review of Roman history from its beginnings up to the immediate post World War II era. Focusing on major events and figures, it is an excellent place to begin.

A previous reviewer criticize this presentation because it didn’t spend enough time going over the lives of the common Romans. Well this may seem like a fair critique on its surface, it actually is rather unfair. Very little is known about the common people of any ancient civilization, because standards of living were so much lower than in the past century. The vast majority of people, even those who would’ve been considered well off, had very little they could leave behind to history.

Good overview

There are small inaccuracies, but it is a great overview. Quick listen. You will enjoy it.

interesting

I've always wanted to know more about the history of where my family is from. This Book was a blessing.

Excellent

Another great book by Matt and the team at Captivating History. Well researched, well organized.

Can’t even pronounce Medici correctly

How can you narrate a book on Italian history and keep mispronouncing Medici? Seriously, the narrator should be ashamed of himself. Of course many other Italian names and places are butchered too, but Medici? Come on!
