Itinerario nella monumentalità risorgimentale emiliano-romagnola tra spirito nazionale e identità locali

Abstract

The essay analyses the statuary production representing the protagonists of the Italian Risorgimento in Emilia-Romagna and its role in the development of national identity. The statues and the busts dedicated to the Italian fathers of the nation and patriots allow us to highlight the regional peculiarities of the nation-building process. From this perspective, the article explores which interactions and initiatives have been affected by the dialogue between local history and national rhetoric.
