Note(s) : "To its many tourists and visitors, the Tuscan landscape evokes a sense of timelessness
and harmony. Yet, the upheavals of the twentieth century profoundly reshaped rural
Tuscany. Uncovering the experiences of ordinary people, Professor Gaggio traces the
history of Tuscany to show how the region's modern conflicts and aspirations have
contributed to forging its modern-day beauty. We learn how the rise of Fascism was
particularly violent in rural Tuscany, and how struggles between Communist sharecroppers
and their landlords raged long after the end of the dictatorship. The flight from
the farms in the 1950s and 1960s disorientated many Tuscans, prompting ambitious development
projects, and in more recent decades the emergence of the heritage industry has raised
the spectre of commodification. This book tells the story of how many Tuscans themselves
have become tourists in their own land - forced to adapt to rapid change and reinvent
their landscape in the process"
