During President Biden’s administration, Trump was assembling the people and building the policies that will forever change the direction of this country.

In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, "Italy" exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean.

This is what the French historian Fernand Braudel achieves here.

Ci servono mappe intelligenti per orientarci a capire dove siamo ora, e dove andremo domani. La storia antica riappare negli atlanti, come una trama invisibile che si ripete.
