STUDY LINKS

Harvard University Italian Department
Visit the Harvard University Italian Department site, which contains huge lists of links to literature sites:

Duecento through to Settecento

Age of Romanticism

Literature of United Italy

Rise and Fall of Fascism

Aftermath of World War II

Contemporary Italy

In addition, you will find on-line dictionaries and thesauri, plus access to Italian language sites (RAI and BBC are good).

Harvard also gives you free access to many journals such as Comparative Culture and Literature, Arte In and Rassegna Stampa.

Rassegna stampa
Rassegna Stampa is particularly brilliant: it is a collection of literary articles from Italian newspapers and magazines. The articles are usually of a very high quality and cover a range of topics from contemporary authors to problems facing Italian libraries.

CULTURE LINKS

www.scotsitalian.com
If you are interested in aspects of Italian culture, have a look at the scotsitalian site. It has links to sport, cultural events and other Scots-Italian societies. Its mission statement is to �preserve the history of the many Italian families and their generations that have made Scotland their home.� But, you will find this site interesting even if you do not have Italian blood.

www.libero.it
This is an Italian web server a little like yahoo. Use the search engine, specifically zoned in on Italian sites or browse the cinema, sports and news pages.
