Summary "Ricordi del 1870-71" by Edmondo De Amicis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work reflects on significant events in Italy during 1870 and 1871, particularly focusing on the military and cultural shifts occurring in the country at the time. It aims to evoke the emotions and sentiments tied to national pride and war, making it particularly relevant for young Italians to understand their history. The opening of the book introduces the author's intention to compile various writings that relate to key occurrences in Italy during this formative period. De Amicis expresses his initial hesitation to create what he feared might just be a mere collection of miscellaneous subjects. Nevertheless, he recognizes the importance of these writings as eyewitness accounts that capture the collective experiences, emotions, and thoughts of those moments. The narrative shifts towards a Piemontese character reflecting on his memories of Florence before departing to Rome, highlighting a sense of nostalgia and the deep connections individuals form with their homeland, as well as the beauty and significance of Italian art and culture.
