Text of the main book in Italian. Megale Hellas, Magna Graecia, the ancient name defining both the land and the first phase of civilization of ancient Italy, calls to mind that prestigious component of the cultural tradition which is the distinctive mark and the glory of our country. Arisen out of the intermingling of the heritage of the peoples who had inhabited the south of the Peninsula as of old, and the Greeks, the bearers of a refined culture, the civilization of the Italiotes - as the Greeks of the colonial poleis of Italia called themselves - spread and ensured the fortune of the name throughout the peninsular and the whole Western world, strengthened by the contribution offered by Rome, with its extraordinary wealth of innovatory ideas, profoundly meditated doctrines, ethical principles which had borne the trial of reason. (Preface) With plenty of illustrations (often in colour) of archeological items, coins, ancient sculptures as well as pictures of the landscape and ancient building and maps.
