The Latin term Italicus was used to describe "a man of Italy" as opposed to a provincial. For example, Pliny the Elder notably wrote in a letter Italicus es an provincialis? meaning "are you an Italian or a provincial?".[55]The adjective italianus, from which are derived the Italian (and also French and English) name of the Italians, is medieval and was used alternatively with Italicus during the early modern period.[56]

Italian Fascism is based upon Italian nationalism and imperialism, and in particular seeks to complete what it considers as the incomplete project of the unification of Italy by incorporating Italia Irredenta (unredeemed Italy) into the state of Italy.[131][132] To the east of Italy, the Fascists claimed that Dalmatia was a land of Italian culture whose Italians, including those of Italianized South Slavic descent, had been driven out of Dalmatia and into exile in Italy, and supported the return of Italians of Dalmatian heritage.[133] Mussolini identified Dalmatia as having strong Italian cultural roots for centuries, similarly to Istria, via the Roman Empire and the Republic of Venice.[134] To the south of Italy, the Fascists claimed Malta, which belonged to the United Kingdom, and Corfu, which instead belonged to Greece; to the north claimed Italian Switzerland, while to the west claimed Corsica, Nice, and Savoy, which belonged to France.[135][136] The Fascist regime produced literature on Corsica that presented evidence of the island's italianità.[137] The Fascist regime produced literature on Nice that justified that Nice was an Italian land based on historic, ethnic, and linguistic grounds.[137]
As the country grew wealthier in the 1950s, a form of neorealism known as pink neorealism succeeded, and starting from the 1950s through the Commedia all'italiana genre, and other film genres, such as sword-and-sandal followed as Spaghetti Westerns, were popular in the 1960s and 1970s.[530] Actresses such as Sophia Loren, Giulietta Masina and Gina Lollobrigida achieved international stardom during this period. Erotic Italian thrillers, or giallos, produced by directors such as Mario Bava and Dario Argento in the 1970s, also influenced the horror genre worldwide.[531] In recent years, the Italian scene has received only occasional international attention, with movies like Cinema Paradiso written and directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, Mediterraneo directed by Gabriele Salvatores, Life Is Beautiful directed by Roberto Benigni, Il Postino: The Postman with Massimo Troisi and The Great Beauty directed by Paolo Sorrentino.[532]
Not from the area, but I am excited to read about a regional US sandwich that I have not seen covered in any other food media. I am from NC and I have been grumpy for quite awhile in how interest in our foodways has led to it been waterdowned & bastardized. In fact, hat tip to RI for keeping a lot of their non seafood food out of the spotlight. Only a silly short lived reality show that no one watched about a psychic lead me to read about their version of italian-American food which sounds fantastic. Enjoying your site.
A new, safer version of nitroglycerin became available in 1867 when Alfred Nobel licensed his dynamite manufacturing process to a U.S. manufacturer. In August 1867, Julius Bandmann incorporated the Giant Powder Company and began manufacturing dynamite in March 19, 1868, too late to be of use by the Central Pacific Railroad. Following the completion of the transcontinental railroad, Howden continued his work with nitroglycerin for California Powder Works which had begun to focus its resources on dynamite production. Howden developed a brand of dynamite the company named Black Hercules, utilizing black powder as an absorbing agent for the nitroglycerin. Giant Powder Works, licensee of Nobel's dynamite patent, sued California Powder for infringement, ultimately losing the court battle.
