Why Italy
Does anyone know the history of the Italian Heritage?
My family and I were discussing our nationality. Anyone have a clue where it originates from? I am sorry for not being more spespefic - I dont want italian immigration, i want the history of Italy. How it became, and how people became italian. thus for the italian heritage.

- At a guess, Italy. Seriously, you need to be more specific. Do you mean Italian immigration to the US or other places? Do you mean the history of Italy in general? EDIT: OK -- that helps. Well, as you can probably imagine, Italy has a fantastic history and there's no way to post it all here. However, I think if you go through this website, you'll get a good beginning! http://www.arcaini.com/ITALY/ItalyHistory/ItalyHistory.html
- There is a brief history of Italy on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Italy But you might want to find out which part of Italy your family came from. That will narrow your research. Are any of your grandparents still living? They might have some information on your background and where their parents came from. Your library is a good resource for books on the history of particular countries.
