The Italian Achievement
註釋"The Italian Achievement is an A to Z of over one thousand 'firsts' achieved by Italians in almost every aspect of life during the last millennium - from fashion and food to flying and photography; from art and design to painting and sailing; from motor cars to musical instruments; from philosophy to physics; from clocks to computers." "This remarkable 'encyclopaedia' is readily accessed by a comprehensive cross-reference index to enable the reader to refer to any subject or person with ease and confidence. In addition, the author's commentaries provide valuable background information to the referenced item and originator." "The Italian Achievement includes a short group of essays exploring the nature of Italian culture, the Italian impact on England, the causes of Italian successes (and failures) and the renaissance of Italy."--BOOK JACKET.
