Dear list members,
Can anyone out there enlighten a friend of mine, David Lowenthal, who is
currently finishing up the revised edition of his life of the American
pioneer environmentalist and sometime US ambassador to the newly united
Kingdom of Italy, George Perkin Marsh. We were mulling over the maps for
his book and the following queries came to us:
1. When does the term 'Mezzogiorno d'Italia' come to refer to the south of
Italy?
2. Is the word 'Calabria' ever used to refer to Southern Italy in general?
3. Am I right in thinking that the province Emilia-Romagna was a post 1860
creation? How far west does the Romagna extend?
I'd be very grateful for any assistance with the above
