Summary "Storia degli Italiani, vol. 03 (di 15)" by Cesare Cantù is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume appears to delve into the cultural and literary developments in Italy, focusing notably on the Latin literary golden age during the time of Augustus and its notable writers. The book aims to explore the evolution of Italian literature and national identity through its connection to prominent figures and historical contexts. The opening of the volume introduces the concept of the "golden age" of Latin literature and associates it with the reign of Augustus, highlighting how this era shaped the cultural landscape of Italy. Cantù sets the stage by discussing the transition of Rome from a militaristic society to one that embraced refined culture following its interactions with the Greek world. He references early Roman poets and playwrights, such as Livio Andronico, Ennio, and Plauto, noting how their works contributed to the evolution of drama in Rome and established a framework for subsequent literary movements. The text provides historical insights into the development of Roman theater and the introduction of various genres, showcasing the complex interrelations between military, politics, and the arts during Rome’s influential periods.
