Ethnicity and religious confession are concepts around which discussion and controversy arise, generating emotions and feelings of extreme intensity. Each of us belongs to such a community. By default, there is pressure on us to be subjective. Intercultural dialogue can be successfully provided where a community that is aware of the Other comes to communicate, cooperate and build the structure of a multicultural society. Diversity throughout Central and South-Eastern Europe can lead to either cooperation or conflict. Presently, we face discrimination, marginalization, low-status minorities, peripheral societies and the inequitable distribution of resources that leads to unequal distribution of authority and power.
An exploration of the many depictions of Charlemagne in the Italian tradition of chivalric narratives in verse and prose. Chivalric tales and narratives concerning Charlemagne were composed and circulated in Italy from the early fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth century (and indeed subsequently flourished in forms of popular theatre which continue today).

Cu o prefață de Francesco Guida „Această carte vine să umple un gol în cercetarea istoriografică românească privind impactul viziunii lui Giuseppe Mazzini în procesul de formare a ideii de națiune română. Republican adept al unificării Italiei, genovezul și-a extrapolat viziunea la scara întregului continent, pronunțându-se împotriva construcțiilor statale de factură imperială și susținând dreptul oricărei națiuni de a se constitui ca stat național. Miezul cercetării de față îl reprezintã implicarea genovezului în sprijinul cauzei naționale a românilor, în care el întrezărea, după mișcările revoluționare de la 1848, voința de a-și apăra identita...
