Mirror of the Second Republic. The Journal of Modern Italian Studies in the years of the Italian political crisis

JMIS was founded during what was a very strange time in Italy: immediately after a political earthquake, and in the midst of an historiographic earthquake. It should therefore come as little or no surprise that the journal was forced to come to terms with such great transformations, allowing itself to be influenced by them to some degree, reflecting the positive aspects of these changes, the lively new developments that emerged from them and, at the same time, a number of problems left unsolved. In a certain sense, the journal founded by John Davis and David Kertzer has come to be a reflected image of a decade that – for Italy and for Italian history – proved to be fertile, exciting, and unsettling in a way that few other decades have.
