by R. De Cesare (Author), Helen Zimmern (Translator)

""The Last Days of Papal Rome: 1850-1870"" is a historical book written by Raffaele De Cesare and published in 1909. The book chronicles the decline and fall of the Papal States, which were the territories under the direct rule of the Pope in Italy. The period covered in the book is from 1850 to 1870, a time of great political upheaval in Italy and Europe as a whole. The book explores the political, social, and cultural factors that contributed to the decline of the Papal States and the eventual unification of Italy. De Cesare provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the fall of the Papal States, including the revolutions of 1848, the rise of Italian nationalism, and the Franco-Prussian War. He also delves into the internal struggles within the Catholic Church and the papacy during this time. ""The Last Days of Papal Rome"" is a seminal work of Italian history and a fascinating look at the end of an era in European politics and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
