Postcolonial Italy

"Postcolonial Italy” is a collaborative project created by historians Daphné Budasz and Markus Wurzer. It collects material legacies of Italian colonialism present in cities. It takes the form of an interactive map that locates and explains the significance of colonial traces in the public space. On the occasion of Black History Month Florence, “Postcolonial Italy” launches a self-guided tour “Uncovering Italian Colonial Pasts: Florence.” This walking tour, available for free download, offers Florence’s inhabitants a less-known, yet crucial, narrative of Italian history.
