How Geography Divided Italy For 1,302 Years

Подробнее о видео

From not long after the fall of the Western Roman Empire to only 150 years ago, Italy was not the unified country we see today, but a fragmented mess of kingdoms and city-states. My question is, what divided it for so long, and how does this history affect the country today?
