CulturaItalia proposes a guided access to the world of Italian culture. Thanks to innovative IT solutions, the portal gathers and organizes millions of informational elements on the resources that make up the country's vast cultural universe, and places them at the disposal of web users at large. The project is promoted and managed by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities (MiBAC) with the scientific consultation of the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa.

The Handbook promotes the increasing diversity of perspectives employed in the study of contemporary Europe and EU integration is situated in the context of Europe’s transformations. It offers balanced coverage of political, social, economic, cultural and institutional dimensions of Europe.

Italian Studies was founded in 1937 as the journal of the Society for Italian Studies (SIS), the principal professional association of teachers of Italian and Italian studies in Higher Education in the UK and Ireland, whose aim is 'to advance public education by furthering the study of Italy, Italian language, literature, thought, history, society, and arts in the United Kingdom and Ireland'.

The Journal of Modern Italian Studies (JMIS) is one of the leading English language forums for debate and discussion on modern Italy. The journal publishes five issues a year, each containing scholarly articles and book reviews relating to the political, economic, cultural, and social history of modern Italy from 1700 to the present. JMIS is especially committed to promoting the study of modern and contemporary Italy in transnational contexts.

Founded in 1995 by the Association for the Study of Modern Italy, the journal’s focus is the history, politics, society, economy and culture of Italy, Italian affairs and the Italian peoples from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century.

This book examines the fascinating origins and the complex evolution of Italian national citizenship from the unification of Italy in 1861 until just after World War II. It does so by exploring the civic history of Italians in the peninsula, and of Italy's colonial and overseas native populations. Using little-known documentation, Sabina Donati delves into the policies, debates, and formal notions of Italian national citizenship with a view to grasping the multi-faceted, evolving, and often contested vision(s) of italianità. In her study, these disparate visions are brought into conversation with contemporary scholarship pertaining to alienhood, racial thinking, migration, expansionism, and gender.
