The Arcaini Italy Web

Lightpan Award for Academic Excellence

This "All About Italy" website has been a passion project for me for nearly two decades.

It has evolved into an outstanding resource for those seeking to gain valuable insights into Italy's rich history.

The site's content is meticulously researched, drawing on a range of sources, including literature, references, published articles, and online image libraries. All sources are appropriately cited under "Source" and "Credits."

I have embarked on writing a series of twenty books each dedicated to one of the twenty Italian regions. The first of these books focuses on Tuscany.

If you have any feedback or suggestions for improving the content, please feel free to email me. Additionally, you can click on any image on any page to zoom in and enlarge it.
